running for a good cause

Jeannine Thompson at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Rock N Roll Half Marathon

Here at Market Technologies our employees always strive to do better. Better, not only here in our own community, but all over the world. Monetary contributions made and charitable activities sponsored by Market Technologies on behalf of employees allows us to give back to the community a portion of the benefits we ourselves have been fortunate enough to receive through our work at Market Technologies. Our employees enjoy giving back when given the chance and feel it takes such little effort on our part to reap such grand rewards.

"All members of the Market Technologies family feel that it is very important to contribute to our community. We are extremely appreciative of the blessings in our lives and are eager to reach out to those in need. However, many of us feel the time crunch that comes with balancing the needs of work and family. We all do not have extra hours to volunteer for the many wonderful charitable organizations in our area. However, Market Technologies Cares offers us an easy way to help those in need. We are proud to be part of a company that cares so deeply about others".
