Lake Oswego, Ore., October 5, 2008—Technocom Inc., (http://www.gotechnocom.com) was honored this week for its commitment to community service and overall corporate Philanthropy. Technocom was listed with 23 other medium sized companies ($10m-$50m revenue) compiled by the Portland Business Journal, for overall giving. While cash donations are calculated, the listing also takes into account in-kind services and equipment and pro-bono hours each company dedicates to make their community a better place to live. This is the second annual Philanthropy list compiled by the Journal, and Technocom has been listed each year. Technocom CEO Rick McCloskey was pleased with the company listing and commented, "I'm pleased that both our cash and pro bono contributions increased this year, as we continue to do our best to support our community in these tough financial times. I really appreciate our company's support of community service organizations like Dress for Success and Abby's Closet, as we provide them with additional drop-off locations. Lastly, I was delighted at the number of technology related items we collected, on behalf of our customers, as a part of our green E-waste recycling partnership with Goodwill. I'm proud that Technocom is trying to do our share to build a stronger community as well as protect our environment." Technocom, with annual revenues of $11–$12 million, routinely gives or assists the Tualatin Fire and Rescue Toy & Joy Holiday Program, the Oregon Food Bank – Holiday Basket Program, the Children's Course, Abby's Closet, George Fox University, Lewis & Clark College, Portland State University, Corban College, De Lasalle and Wilsonville High Schools, YMCA of Columbia Willamette the Brian Henniger Foundation for Children's Charities, Dress for Success® and Seattle's Union Gospel Mission, among others. Portland Business Journal Publisher, Craig Wessel noted, "The genesis of this publication and our Corporate Philanthropy Awards event came from a general lack of recognition given to the critical rolls that the business community plays in keeping our schools more productive, our children healthier and safer, and our state more culturally vibrant than we could otherwise ever hope to achieve."
