Go Daddy CEO Bob Parsons visits the Hope for Haiti clinic
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Go Daddy (www.godaddy.com) announced on Thursday it has already donated more money to charities in 2011 than it did in all of 2010.
The company's philanthropic division, Go Daddy Cares (www.GoDaddyCares.com), surpassed the $4.2 million dollar mark at last weekend's Make-A-Wish Ball in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Last year, Go Daddy Cares donated a total of $3.4 million to different causes around the world.
"We believe it is our duty to make a difference in our community and we have fun doing it," said Go Daddy CEO and founder Bob Parsons. "Go Daddy has always stepped up to help those less fortunate, and as Go Daddy grows more successful, our donations get bigger and bigger too. We hope other companies will be inspired to step up and share the wealth. It's just the right thing to do."
The "Round Up for Charity" initiative is Go Daddy's online fund-raising drive that allows customers to round up their purchase amount to the nearest dollar.
This "spare change" is currently going to a Florida organization called Hope for Haiti, and so far, customers have contributed more than $25,000 for the cause.
Last month, Parsons visited Haiti to deliver medical supplies and to oversee the use of the company’s donations to help the relief efforts in the country following a massive earthquake in January of 2010.
During the mission trip, he announced the company will match every customer donation made in the "Round Up," bringing the total to date to $50,000, which will be added to the more than $1 million already dpmated to Hope for Haiti.
Over the years, Go Daddy Cares has helped hurricane victims in New Orleans, flood victims in Iowa and Tennessee, tsunami victims in Indonesia as well as domestic violence victims and AIDS patients in Arizona.
