SCOTTSDALE, AZ, June 16, 2010 – Jawa, a Scottsdale software and interactive media firm, has joined the Phoenix Zoo’s Corporate Member Program. Jawa’s cash donation will assist the zoo in its efforts to care for the hundreds of endangered and threatened species that are currently part of its collection of 1300 animals, in addition to maintaining the upkeep of the zoo for the more than one million visitors it receives each year.
The sponsorship is part of Jawa’s corporate philanthropy program, ‘Jawa Gives’ which allows employees to nominate non-profit organizations and causes that have positively impacted their lives. This month, the Phoenix Zoo was selected not only for the cultural attraction it provides Phoenix, but also because the partnership allowed Jawa to give back to its employees. As part of the Corporate Membership, every employee at Jawa will receive complimentary zoo tickets to share with their families.
“We had so many nominations for animal-related organizations that we decided to donate to the one closest to our community and also one that allows us to say ‘thank you’ to Jawa staff. The Phoenix Zoo was recently voted one of the Nation’s Top 5 Zoos for Kids and I hope employees and their families will take advantage of their zoo passes,” said Jawa CEO, Jason Hope.
The Phoenix Zoo joins a group of well-deserving charities and organizations to have received donations as part of Jawa’s ‘Jawa Gives’ program including: the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Desert Mountain States Chapter, the Donor Network of Arizona and Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix.

Jawa Philanthropic Initiative "Jawa Gives" Makes Big Impact in 2010Friday, December 24th, 2010
Scottsdale, AZ - December 24, 2010 – Jawa is wrapping up 2010 with a successful year of philanthropy stemming from its employee-driven charity program ‘Jawa Gives,’ implemented by Jawa CEO Jason Hope. The program gives staff the opportunity to contribute to their favorite local cause or non-profit organization. Since ‘Jawa Gives’ launched last April, a different charity, nominated by an employee, was chosen each month to receive a donation from Jawa. ‘Jawa Gives’ was started by Hope, who wanted employee input in choosing where Jawa’s charitable funds would go.
“Jawa is a Phoenix-based company and we wanted to give back to the community we call home. More importantly, I wanted all employees to have a say what organizations we give donations to. 2010 has been a great year for us and I’m looking forward to an even better year ahead for both business and charitable giving,” said Jawa CEO Jason Hope.
Through 'Jawa Gives,' Jawa has had the pleasure of donating to and working with such organization as the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Desert Mountain States Chapter, Donor Network of Arizona, Phoenix Zoo, Sierra Club Grand Canyon Chapter, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Phoenix, the Police Officers of Scottsdale Association (POSA) and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix and Greater Scottsdale.
Additionally, Jawa staff was encouraged to volunteer and participate in various events including POSA’s ‘Back to School Shop with a Cop program,’ the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s ‘Walk to Cure Diabetes’ and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale’s Adopt-a-Family program.
“I’m so proud of my staff for such active and overwhelming participation in our volunteer efforts this year. We have a great group of people working at Jawa; it’s my goal to create a positive and inspirational work environment where employees know that giving back is valued just as much as they are,” said Hope.
