Online, December 22, 2010 (Newswire.com) - In an effort to raise awareness for aiding children with Leukemia, Central Payment conducted a company wide bone marrow drive in early January 2010. Volunteers helped facilitate the drive by helping employees submit a buccal swab at the corporate office. Many employees registered for more information on how to become more involved in helping the cause of finding a cure for leukemia.
To extend its efforts in philanthropy, Central Payment also made a $25,000 contribution to the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford. The donation was made in honor of Barry Pham, a former patient who passed away earlier this year after a long courageous battle with leukemia.
The recent donation continues the company's generous gestures to non-profit organizations that have helped many causes. In 2008, Central Payment made an annual commitment to contribute to Sunny Hills Services, a non-profit child welfare organization dedicating to helping at-risk children and adolescents.
Central Payment has also announced that at the beginning of each calendar year, it will select four to six organizations to receive official corporate support and contributions. In addition, the Company has established a matching contribution process by which it will make commensurate donations, subject to approval by management, for contributions made by employees and sales partners.
