July 23, 2008 — TRIADmanufacturing, based in St. Louis, sponsored and participated in a Relay For Life in the St. Louis/St. Charles community. When a TRIAD employee involved in the charity invited colleagues to come to the event and participate, TRIAD became a sponsor and a fundraising team was quickly formed for the event. TRIAD’s contribution (sponsorship amount plus money raised by the team) was part of the more than $65,000 event total and is promised to increase next year by TRIAD team members who are already planning for the 2009 event. The Relay For Life is run entirely by volunteers in the community and raises money for cancer research and programs nationwide. Committee planning and team participation takes several months, and is capped off with a 12-hour outdoor and overnight event consisting of live music, games, events, fun-runs, themed laps, food, and other entertainment.
