STACKgiving Employee and Company Campaign Raises $10,000 for Western Kentucky Storm Relief

/

STACK’s core values are ownership, openness, and optimism. We believe in trust and accountability, but we also believe in giving. Fiercely.  

On December 10, 2021, a violent tornado struck Western Kentucky, leaving behind catastrophic damage to communities in its course. This horrific storm hit home for one of STACK’s Customer Success Managers, Matt Hayden, who grew up in the area and had just relocated to Ohio. “It was very depressing news,” Matt said, “And it’s still a very depressing site when you go there. When STACK announced they were raising money to support relief efforts I was uplifted by it.” 

 

Our company’s Slack channel was going wild through December 2021 and January, with generous donations and encouraging words to keep on giving. Our CEO and Founder, Phil Ogilby, along with COO and CFO, Ray DeZenzo, pledged to donate $1,000 each on top of a $2,000 matched gift from STACK if we met a company goal of $2,000 raised by employees. What started out as a $6,000 goal quickly grew with challenges from departments. FUN challenges!
