This past Friday August 29^th, PHD successfully hosted its first golf tournament – the PHD Golf Invitational – at Maples of Ballantrae Golf Club. What started as a small company gathering developed into a fully sponsored charity event with 44 golfers, raising $4500 for the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies. The response from suppliers was remarkable, especially with the short lead time given to get on board. With the risk of thunderstorms, Mother Nature even cooperated, allowing us to stay dry throughout the day.

PHD would like to thank all of its sponsors– Cineplex, AOL, CTV, NewAd, Yahoo, Canwest, 24/7 Real Media, Globe and Mail, MSN Sympatico, Auto Trader, Fidelity Investments, Rogers, and some of our very own clients Boston Pizza, Home Hardware, and Hershey – this day would not have been possible without your contributions!

Thanks again! See you next year for the 2^nd Annual PHD Golf Invitational – it’s going to be even bigger and better!

Cheers,

Geoff Glen and Sean Cunningham

Has anyone else wondered, during the lull of the day when you really know you should be doing something more productive but instead you start trawling the Internet for info and checking blogs, that perhaps your time could be spent to better serve others?

Here at phd we have phenomenal initiatives such as phd sustain, and annually we work closely with the United way. But does anyone have any idea of how we can match charity and sustainability to ensure that some of the swag we receive and some of the leftover food we have can be donated to the less fortunate and those who are more in need?

Thoughts anyone?
