We Love our Community
TeamSoft employees typically live within the vibrant neighborhoods surrounding our clients. We enjoy the benefits of strong business markets while caring deeply for the concerns of our community. We participate in a wide variety of charitable endeavors both as a company and individually. The following are a sampling of some of our more current activities:
UW American Family children's Hospital
|
In December 2006, TeamSoft launched a relationship with the UW American Family Children’s Hospital (UWAFCH) by assuming sponsorship of an interesting and special program called CarePages. |
|
CarePages is a free, easy-to-use Web site that helps family and friends communicate when a child is receiving care at the Hospital. CarePages help parents create a Web meeting place where news and photos are shared. In turn, CarePages allows visitors to leave messages for the patient and family. It takes just a few minutes to create a CarePage, share it and build a community of support. Updates are automatically sent out via e-mail.
CarePages help reduce the stress and anxiety that comes with the hospital experience, and give families an emotional lift that is hard to deliver in any other way. Parents and patients receive support from family and friends during their time of need, and feel more connected to others and less separated from the world.
TeamSoft’s involvement began with the acquisition of laptop computers for the program. These laptops can be checked out by families during their stay at the hospital. Both TeamSoft and the hospital personnel are already thinking about future ways TeamSoft can help, such as providing additional learning, hobby and game software.
Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin
In 2007 and 2008 TeamSoft chose to make a donation to the Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin in lieu of holiday gifts for our client’s managers. As a socially responsible business we were conscious of the fact that many non-profits have been struggling in the current economy to fulfill their mission of serving the less fortunate. Our 2008 donation of $3,500 generated 24,500 meals towards the fight to eliminate hunger in our communities.
The Second Harvest Food Bank of Southern Wisconsin provides food to over 400 charities that feed the hungry in Dane county and 15 other surrounding counties. To learn more about the Second Harvest Food Bank of Southern Wisconsin visit their page
United Way Campaign
TeamSoft participates in the annual United Way Campaign each fall. In 2007 we raised $5,316 through a combination of efforts between TeamSoft employees and the company’s match. In 2008 a total of $3,678 was raised by TeamSoft employees and the company’s match.
The mission of the United Way of Dane County is to create long-lasting community change by addressing the underlying causes of the most significant local issues. Common focus areas include helping children and youth achieve their potential, promoting financial stability and independence, and improving people’s health.

Various Runs/Walks/Rides
TeamSoft participated in the American Cancer Society Run/Walk in 2007 and raised $3,055 for cancer research, education, and prevention. In 2006, TeamSoft participated in the AIDS Walk. We have also supported employees participating in charity events such as Tom Yates, who participated in the 300-mile, 4-day bicycle ride to raise funds and awareness for the AIDS Network.
