QuiBids raises funds for tornado relief
S
hortly after severe weather leveled homes and displaced people around central Oklahoma in May, more than 200 QuiBids customers raised $3,543.22 by bidding in four specifically designated charity auctions QuiBids created and promoted to support relief efforts. Soon after, the money was donated to the American Red Cross of Central and Western Oklahoma. While QuiBids’ offices are located
in northwest Oklahoma City, seven employees commute there from Moore, which bore the worst of May’s severe weather. The company’s connection to the suburb is direct and unfortunately one of those employees’ home was among the many reduced to rubble. He and his family were unharmed, and our company — already grieving the news of loss among our neighbors — set about helping the people of Moore get back on their feet.
In addition to the charity auctions, the leadership at our email service provider iContact (which is headquartered in North Carolina) generously volunteered to match its employees’ giving up to $2,500. And aside from taking care of QuiBids’ displaced employee and his family, QuiBids will donate additional funds to those affected by the tornado to make sure their needs are being provided for in this difficult time.
