As we approach the end of Year 2020, we would like to make the most out of our remaining yearly Cisco Foundation matching fund. In this round of our campaign, we are focusing on Children Welfare. Every dollar donated will create an impact to each child in need.

Hi CPS APJC! Are you ready for a some friendly competition? Interested in also making an impact? This year, Customer and Partner Services is coming together globally to give back to our people, communities and planet through our CARE Initiative, CPS for Action and Relief Everywhere (CARE). This quarter, everyone will be asked to donate in a race to have the highest participation rate among AMER, EMEAR and APJC. Locate your regional CARE fund with BrightFunds nonprofits to have your contribution matched by Cisco, by December 21st. The most "CARE-ing" region will be announced in the next calendar year! Eager to do more? By sending a screenshot of your contribution to your regional CARE fund, you can physically race as well! We're hosting a Walk or Run competition to encourage each other to stay active. You will be added to the WxT so you can connect with and encourage your competitors. Happy racing!

Born and grew up in Vietnam, I am lucky to have a better family than many. Recognizing from early age that, my normal life could be a dream for many others, I always want to help the most vulnerable group in our developing society: the children. My wife and I have been contributing to multiple charity groups via local community before we migrated to the US. Now when I have become a father and started to have my own family, my desire to help become stronger. This humble fund is to continue the goodwill we have created and to set a good tradition for my child to love and care for others. For a better world for every child. Many thanks to Cisco for matching the donation. And thank YOU for your kind donation!
