TELUS to receive International Philanthropic Award
Today it was announced that telecommunications giant TELUS will be recognized by the Association of Funding Professionals (AFP) with the 2010 Freeman Philanthropic Services Award for Outstanding Corporation at its upcoming Awards for Philanthropy event.
It is corporations like TELUS who are leading the way in charitable giving and volunteerism. Cities across the country, including the City of Ottawa, are seeing the concrete results of TELUS’ tireless efforts.
The Outstanding Corporation Award honours a corporation that demonstrates outstanding commitment through financial support and encouragement and motivation of others to take on leadership roles in their communities.
It takes commitment by all employees of an organization to earn the distinction of being a first-class corporation, and TELUS has clearly hit the mark. I would like to encourage all Ottawa-area companies to place a high priority on volunteerism and support for community initiatives.
