Share the Blessings was one of several nonprofit agencies in attendance at the IBM Employee Charitable Contributions Campaign(ECCC) Kick-Off Event Saturday, October 10th, 2009.  The event held at the IBM RTP facility included a 5k run/health walk, music, games and rides.

Share the Blessings has been involved in other IBM activities in the past but this by far is the largest and Share the Blessings is encouraged by this invitation and looking forward to IBM events in the future. Share the Blessings would like to also point out that we are listed as one of the IBM organizations that employees can select as a recepient of their ECCC Pledge.
