None of us could have ever anticipated the events that 2020 has brought our way. And, while there is a lot of anxiety and fear surrounding us given these events, we knew that Pango Group had the resources and power to help those in need. In addition to implementing streamlined and efficient ways of conducting business, we also did our very best to give back.

Here’s a summary of the causes and people we were able to help during these trying times:

Backpack Day (Virtual)

Given the COVID safety concerns, we couldn’t get together and meet as we would in normal circumstances. However, we didn’t let that stop us from getting creative in making certain in-person events still work, like prepping backpacks for Backpack Day!

Pango Group partnered with Para Los Niños/For the Children to create back-to-school care packages for kids returning to school! These included Chromebooks and noise-cancelling headphones for a Virtual Backpack Day. We’re so grateful for everyone who helped make this possible. Here’s a quick rundown of the headphones we’ve collected:

  • 100 purchased by Pango Group
  • 162 from the Pango Foundation
  • 120 from Pango Employees
  • TOTAL: 382!

Scholarships

On behalf of the Pango Foundation, Pango Group provided ten scholarships to children whose parents work in the Pango Group family. In years past, kids have written some pretty impressive letters, but this year, the words we received were even more powerful.

We are so incredibly grateful for our Foundation, our board, and our employees who donate from their paychecks each month, allowing us to invest in the next generation.

Grants

The Pango Foundation provided grants up to $500 to our employees and families who have experienced financial hardships amidst this crisis. Also, we created a resource center for tips and resources for all employees and set up one-on-one calls for those employees looking for financial help.

Care Packages

Given the shortage of hand sanitizer and masks, we knew that our people, partners, and communities were in need. In turn, we created care packages that were sent to our people, partners, and communities. We hope that this personal protective equipment helps these people stay as healthy as possible!
