2010 OFFICEMAX ANNUAL REPORT | XV
GAINING MOMENTUM THROUGH OFFICEMAX GOODWORKS
Impacting students,
teachers and communities.
Offi ceMax GoodworksSM expresses our commitment as a company and individuals
to strengthen the communities where we work. It’s a promise to help end teacher-
funded classrooms. And, it’s a belief that when we help one teacher or one student—
we make a positive impact on our communities.
This outreach happens through various programs, some focused on providing
products and supplies to educators and others driven by fi nancial contributions
and thousands of volunteer hours.
To date, Offi ceMax has contributed millions
of dollars in products to schools and teachers
in need.
OUR PROGRAMS
A Day Made Better
Together with Adopt-A-Classroom, Offi ceMax created A Day
Made Better: A one-day, annual event that awards more than
1,000 teachers across the country with over $1,000 each in
school supplies. In four years, the event has garnered national
attention, involved countless celebrities, and, most importantly,
contributed much-needed products to teachers.
Product Donations
Offi ceMax donates new products to the Kids In Need Foundation,
where they are distributed throughout their network of resource
centers. Once products are delivered, teachers visit these centers
and pick out items they need for their classrooms—free of charge.
Offi ceMax Charitable Foundation
As a separate, nonprofi t entity supported by Offi ceMax,
the Charitable Foundation sponsors a Title 1 school in the
Chicagoland area; reviews and grants donation requests
from outside organizations that support K-12 education;
and works with partners such as Adopt-A-Classroom and
the Kids in Need Foundation.
Offi ceMax GoodworksSM Volunteer Program
Offi ceMax associates donate thousands of hours to community
projects across the country, including teaching for a day,
mentoring students, doing repair work at schools and more.
Offi ceMax GoodworksSM Giving Campaign
Every year, associates have the opportunity to donate to
Adopt-A-Classroom or the United Way—and the company
helps by matching each donation with funds of its own.
LOOKING AHEAD: 2011
A Day Made Better
will involve even more
participants throughout
the year.
Our partner school will
receive $1 million over
the next three years.
The intent is to improve
student and teacher
achievement by providing
crucial funding for
supplies, technology
and training.
