Cognizant recently presented a check to Patricia Smith and Danielle Rued from the Souris Valley United Way at their Minot location. Employees and vendors raised $15,223.00 which Corporate Cognizant matched for a total donation of $30,446.
Fundraising events were held all year with the biggest push during October’s Employee Giving Campaign. Heidi Llewellyn and Cara Olson co-chaired the campaign. Events held included: Pay to Dress Down, loose coin drive, silent auction that included reserved parking spaces, taco in a bag, bake sales, soup & chili cook off and sale, donut sale, purse drive and sale, 50/50 raffle, Pie in the Eye event, and Halloween costume contests. Many of these events included a friendly team competition. In addition, local vendors involved with the clothing sale and the book fair made donations on behalf of Cognizant.
