Protolabs Celebrates Halloween by Building a Well and Their Community
We were fortunate enough to spend part of our day on Halloween at Protolabs as they wrapped up their fundraiser for a water project at the Busia Primary School in Uganda. The school has a population of 1,025 students and this area has a high population of refugees, both South Sudanese and Congolese. To raise funds Protolabs held a Halloween themed bake sale, sold water drops and had a cascading flow of water down their glass stairwell, raffled off prizes like PTO and brewery tours, and had a penny war between the executives for their Trick or Treat Challenge; which required each Executive to take a bite out of what was either a caramel apple or a caramel onion! Altogether the project they were funding cost $3,850 and they managed to raise over $5,000! It just goes to show that even grownups at work can have fun while still making a big difference around the world! This is the kind of company culture we love to see!
