ProfitLine Calls for Employee and Corporate Community Volunteers to Adopt-A-Block

ProfitLine Teams With Second Chance to Help Support a Local Community



SAN DIEGO, CA – May 10, 2007 – ProfitLine, the leading provider of outsourced telecom expense management (TEM), will join with Second Chance again this year to assist with their Adopt-A-Block event, benefiting the neighboring Encanto area. On Saturday, May 19th from 8 a.m. to noon, volunteers will paint houses, remove weeds, create murals and clean up litter to benefit this community.

"Adopt-A-Block not only benefits the local community, but also supports Second Chance by raising essential resources for programs and services provided by the agency to help the homeless and unemployed with jobs, housing and life skills," said Second Chance Executive Director and Founder, Scott Silverman. Adopt-A-Block has evolved to include not only beautification projects but also employment and other services for Second Chance's constituent population. Staffed by Second Chance and its corporate partners, booths will offer everything from information about the STRIVE class to employment opportunity information. Five beautification projects are also planned. "This event is geared towards the corporate community and we are grateful to have partners like ProfitLine who have always shown up in a big way. In return we offer the business community a corporate team building event that is turn-key, with a variety of volunteer and sponsorship opportunities."

"We really enjoy ourselves," said Amy Evans, ProfitLine Manager of Implementations Support and head of the ProfitLine Charity Team. "Our charity team is comprised of employees from every level – entry to executive – who give time and/or money they may not have because they truly want to help. And it brings us closer together as a team to spend a day of our lives giving back to the community. It's one of the reasons I love ProfitLine," she continued. Amy announced that they are looking for at least 25 volunteers this year and employees' friends and family are welcome to join them. "If you are not able to volunteer your time, you can donate snacks and drinks for the volunteers instead. We also want to challenge other corporations to step up to the plate – to either write a check or contribute by taking out a booth or rolling up their sleeves. Last year's event was a great success and we are looking forward to helping again this year."
