23 March, 2009

Salt Lake City - March 23, 2009 - CLEARLINK kicked off its annual "CLEARLINK Cares" campaign by partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah to host a clothing drive at their Salt Lake City office.

The ongoing "CLEARLINK Cares" campaign is focused on giving back to the local Salt Lake City community and enriching the lives of CLEARLINK employees and citizens of Utah.. All employees of CLEARLINK are encouraged to participate in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program throughout the year. Dan Eyring, VP of Organizational Development at CLEARLINK stated, "As a nearly 4 year participant of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program I can fully endorse the great work Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah does and how many lives, both of "Bigs" and "Littles" this program touches."

CLEARLINK has placed a donation bin in the southwest side of their parking lot, located at 5202 W. Douglas Corrigan Way, Salt Lake City, UT. The location makes it easy for employees as well as other businesses in the area to aid in CLEARLINK's support for Big Brothers Big Sisters. "It's a great team building experience to engage in a socially impactful project as a company. CLEARLINK has always done a good job showing employees they care, it's nice to show the community they care as well," said Ben Brown, a CLEARLINK employee.

In an effort to serve 1,800 youth in Utah in 2009, the money raised from this partnership will be vital to the continuation of the Big Brothers Big Sisters mission. CLEARLINK's "CLEARLINK Cares" campaign partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters reinforces their commitment to the community, specifically Utah's youth.
