Act-On Software Teams With San Francisco's GLIDE to Do Good, Better(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BEAVERTON, OR -- (Marketwired) -- 10/13/14 -- Act-On Software, the leading provider of marketing automation for small and mid-size businesses, today announced that it has partnered with GLIDE, a non-profit working to alleviate hunger and homelessness in San Francisco for its latest corporate social initiative the #TchotchkeTchallenge. The challenge takes place October 14th and 15th at Chronicle Books in San Francisco, CA. The Tchotchke Tchallenge is a collaborative two-day effort to encourage Moscone event goers to donate the conference tchotchkes collected to charity. All contributions made will go directly to GLIDE. In organizing this tchotchke drive, Act-On hopes to demonstrate that any business, no matter the size or budget, has the ability to support charitable causes. Tradeshows are notorious for tchotchkes like pens, notebooks, water bottles and small electronics. Conference attendees are typically overloaded with dozens of these items while visiting exhibiting sponsors and the majority of the time do not have the suitcase capacity to lug the tchotchkes back to the office. "Companies big and small can contribute to the cause and help GLIDE in their mission to alleviate suffering and break the cycles of poverty," said Nicole Brown, Director of Institutional Giving at GLIDE. "We appreciate Act-On's innovative approach to spreading awareness to GLIDE's mission, and in understanding that a little effort goes a long way."
