As the advertising agency of the Northeast Ohio chapter of Susan G. Komen, Doner supports the non-profit with marketing efforts throughout the year. In addition, the employees within our Cleveland office have joined forces to make up a team that will participate in the 2011 Race for the Cure. With a pledge goal of $15,000 the office has developed various fundraising events in order to help them reach this goal. One of those events, the Komen Carnival and Bake Sale went off without a hitch this past Friday, Aug. 12. The event was a huge success full of fun games and, of course, Komen’s signature color, PINK! The Carnival and Bake Sale helped Doner raise more than $1,500 for the cause.
The Burning River Roller Girls, Cleveland’s roller derby team, skated around during the event, adding to the excitement. The Flower Clown was also a huge hit. He made balloon animals for children and adults alike to enjoy.
Cleveland’s local news, NBC affiliate WKYC 3 and Fox 8, covered the event. Both sent reporters that produced news segments for the evening news. In addition, Doner employee family members and neighboring business employees stopped by the Carnival to show their support.
As Komen Northeast Ohio Affiliate’s agency of record, Doner manages all of the collateral development and distribution for the organization’s annual Northeast Ohio Race for the Cure. In 2010, Doner created the “Twenty Ten Challenge” to encourage an increase in fundraising efforts of race participants. Throughout the partnership the success of Northeast Ohio Race for the Cure has grown in number of participants, fundraisers and money raised.

To celebrate and thank our interns, Doner hosted Intern-Palooza yesterday where the interns were invited to head to Comerica Park to enjoy a Tigers game. The idea for the celebration stemmed from the size of the summer internship program, which has 26 participants this year in our Southfield office.
The interns come from schools all over Michigan including College for Creative Studies, Michigan State, Grand Valley, Central Michigan, Calvin College, Wayne State, University of Michigan, Lawrence Tech, Western Michigan and Bowling Green. Each intern is placed into a certain department of the company: Creative, Media, Project Management, IT or Production and is expected to work closely with full-time employees as well as the other interns in their respective departments.
“Since they’ve all been working so hard together throughout the summer we thought this would be a great opportunity for them to spend some time networking outside of the office,” said Isabel Nelson, Recruitment Coordinator, who helped plan the event.
Despite the intense heat and the Tigers falling apart in the top of the 7th it was a wonderful afternoon spent enjoying the city and company.

After fierce competition over the past couple weeks, the Dunkin Doner Mid-Summer Tennis Classic finalists took center stage at the weekly Thursday afternoon office get-together.
The initial plan was to have the finals outside, really testing the skills and endurance of the players. However, due to the insanely hot weather the finalists all got “home court advantage”, and the finals took place on the Third Floor Mini-Court.
No sporting event would be complete if junk food did not accompany the live spectacle. Pizza was a special treat this week, along with ice cold brews. 80s music played as Scott Wolf and Hanser Quintela faced off for the A division. Followed by Matthew Livengood and Chris Waigand for the B Division.
Scott prevailed amongst the self-proclaimed skilled A league. And Chris won out amongst the B league. The winners finally got the long coveted Dunkin’ Doner sweatsuit, to further confirm their success as Mid-Summer Tennis Classic Champions.
It was the best place to stay cool and celebrate another week in the books, thankfully with infamous Tennis grunting at a minimum.

Nothing gets creativity flowing like some fierce competition. With Wimbledon grunting being a hot topic right now, we have decided to continue upon the great success of the Spring Doubles Tennis tournament with our first annual Dunkin’ Doner Mid-Summer Mini Tennis Classic. The third floor tennis court will set the scene for the first few rounds of the tournament, leading up to the outdoor finals on the lawn on Thursday, July 21 during Dunkin’ Doner.
There’s still time to sign up to showcase your athleticism and to secure your exclusive Dunkin’ Doner headband and wristband. With two divisions, ‘A’ for the true competitor and ‘B’ for the less serious player, everyone has a chance to seize victory and with it a Dunkin’ Doner sweat suit (fully appropriate for “dress for the day” dress code). Sign up by the elevators by this Friday, July 8th to get in on the friendly competition!
A special shout out to our finalists from the Doubles tournament: Murray White & Andrew Copenhaver, Scott Wolf & Brett Barnett, and Chris Everhart & Hanser Quintela. Our defending champions Chris and Hanser are the guys to beat.
Check out the pictures of the finalists below. This could be you in just a few weeks!
