Yesterday PSPINC representatives attended the luncheon for Puget Sound Business Journal's Corporate Champion Awards. PSBJ recognized eight companies as Corporate Champions in eight categories, and 75 total companies for their corporate charitable giving.
PSPINC was recognized as the Healthy Community Corporate Champion in the category of Global Giving for their work in creating the Summer Experience in Seattle program for child survivors of natural disaster and the establishment of PSP Children’s Foundation as a non-profit organization.
Per the Puget Sound Business Journal, "The Corporate Philanthropist Awards honors the 75 companies that make the Business Journal's expanded Corporate Philanthropist Lists, and The Healthy Community Corporate Champion Awards honor eight companies that embrace the Seattle Foundation's mission to create and sustain a "Healthy Community" - or a community built on the eight strong pillars of Arts & Culture, Basic Needs, Economic Opportunity, Education, Environment, Health & Wellness, Neighborhoods & Communities, and Global Giving."
PSPINC is honored to have been acknowledged among these other top companies and hopes to continue their good work through PSPCF and their other contributions to the minority business community and the global community at large.

PSP Children’s Foundation (PSPCF) was formed in 2012 to provide programs and opportunities for children who are overcoming great challenges. In 2012, PSPCF put together a program called “Summer Experience in Seattle” for children who lost a parent or parents during the Tsunami in Japan in March 2011. In 2017, we established a scholarship fund at the University of Washington Foster School of Business to help financially disadvantaged students achieve their educational and career goals. Through our charity golf event we were able to give these 5 scholarships to 5 deserving students at the Foster School of Business.
