Thank You to Our Sponsors!
On November 1 and 2, 2011, we were very proud to host the Office Depot Foundation 2011 Charity Invitational in Miami, Florida. More than 900 individuals from Office Depot and its vendors, suppliers and partners assembled for an extraordinary "Day of Opportunities" that raised vitally important funds to support the work of the Foundation.
We are exceptionally grateful to our Individual Sponsorship Contributors and our Special Sponsorship Contributors for their generous sponsorship contributions.
Together, we will continue to make a difference to children, families, non-profit organizations and communities around the world. Thank you!

Listen Learn Care
|
Office Depot is known throughout the world as a company with a heart. Throughout our history, we have distinguished ourselves through our support of charitable organizations and worthy causes on a local and national scale.
Today, the independent Office Depot Foundation is continuing this tradition - and reflecting the values of Office Depot and its associates - by supporting programs that enhance quality of life for children, strengthen communities, encourage local and international economic growth, and empower schools and non-profit organizations.
We also continue our legacy of helping out when disasters strike, and doing what we can not only to speed the process of rebuilding, but also to mitigate the impact of future disasters.
The mission of the Foundation is Listen Learn Care. We invite you to learn more about our efforts on these pages – and to join us in fulfilling our vision. |
