LyonHeart decided to refurbish its old computers, and sold 65 Macs and PCs for a small donation—but enough to support a significant portion of i.HUG’s costs to provide education, medical care, and other relief to 85 orphans and underprivileged children living in complete poverty in Kabalagala, Uganda.

The check was presented to Joanna Breitstein by LyonHeart’s CEO Anne Devereux at a ceremony to kick off the company’s annual fundraising drive for the United Way.

Employees of AbelsonTaylor fulfilled hundreds of holiday wishes on December 16, organizing four major activities designed to bring warmth and cheer to children in need of both.

Working with national and local partners, employees bought more than 600 gifts for local children who wrote letters to Santa through the US Postal Service, collected 160 coats for the nonprofit group One Warm Coat, and presented more than 140 presents to Chicago students representing a statewide agency called Youth Outreach Services.

Additionally, members of Knit Wits, an AbelsonTaylor knitting circle, made 50 hats for distribution through Warm Woolies, a group serving orphans and children on tribal reservations.

The four activities were celebrated as Winterfest and conducted as part of Hearts AT Work, AbelsonTaylor’s new employee-driven corporate social responsibility program.
