As part of the Knowledge Infusion Volunteers and Knowledge Infusion Foundation, this weekend we are finishing off our first year with our flagship philanthropy event in Monterey, California. A large portion of the company along with many customers, family members and friends will gear up on Sunday to run the Big Sur Half Marathon, http://www.bigsurhalfmarathon.org/site4.aspx. We have been planning and training for this event most of the year and are thrilled at both the participation and the good wishes from so many.
The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation main objective is to help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of the Holidays; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable resources – our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.
Based on the large number of children in the Knowledge Infusion family and our dedication to making the world a better place as an organization, we specifically chose this Foundation so that kids less fortunate than those in our families could enjoy the end to what has been a crazy 2009.
I want to personally thank the following HR and Talent Management technology vendors for their contributions to our effort. Because of organizations like yours, working together, we will make a difference during this tough upcoming holiday season.

We have also had many personal donations from families, friends and individuals from some clients such as Target, Dell, Scripps and Orangeseed Design. The combination of vendors and these personal donations make me proud to work in the industry and with the people that I do. Thank you!
We have 3 days until the race in Monterey. I would love to be able to add another 10 vendor names to this list as we strive to achieve $10,000 in donations for this great foundation. If you get a chance, please visit http://www.firstgiving.com/kibigsur to make your donation. I will continue to update this list of vendors as more donations come in for this weekend. Please do what you can to support this effort even if just a few dollars.
Jason Corsello from Knowledge Infusion has been our leader in our philanthropic efforts during 2009 and to the entire HR and Talent Management community, I want to personally thank him for his efforts.
Thank you for your support, words of encouragement, and most of all working together as a community towards an amazing cause.
Another infusion of knowledge…
