Lots of good things are happening around the office.

Today, we gathered all of our employees to kick off a new program to help us give back to the community. At nParallel, we've always been passionate about philanthropy and this year we wanted to take our efforts to a new level and offer each employee $250 to give to a nonprofit of their choice. Our new program that kicked off today is called Exhibiting Good, a play off the work we do here at nParallel.

We gathered around tables this morning, and each employee had the opportunity to share what organization they wanted to give their $250 to and why. It was an opportunity to learn more about each nParallel employee and nonprofits that are working hard to further advance our society for the better.

We love the work we do at nParallel; we get to help organizations build exhibits and develop retail spaces. Today we had the chance to step back from our work and take a look at the progress that nonprofits are making in our own backyard to make a difference, and as a team, we want to help.

As a company, our 36 team members will be donating $250 each to the outstanding organizations below. We couldn’t be more proud of our team for advocating for charities that are making such a huge difference.
