Applied Materials Employee Giving Tradition to Enable More Than 2 Million Meals for the Hungry

Executives raced tricycles through an obstacle course on the company's parking lot in an effort to help raise money for the Second Harvest Food Bank. Employees voted via food drive donations for the executive they believed would win the race. Every $100 donated earned racers a one-second advantage at the start line. (Photo: Business Wire)

The SOUPer Structures competition involved employees creating inventive works of art out of canned goods, based on the Second Harvest Food Bank's list of most needed food items. Entries were judged on creativity, complexity, number of canned items used, number of employees involved and best illustration of this year's theme: Improving the Way People Live--Ending Hunger.
