Attention Zebra Partners: We Want to Honor Your Contributions to Local Communities
In tough times, we look to those on the front lines for support. Whether it's fulfilling orders, bagging groceries, rescuing patients, or delivering supplies, there's no shortage of heroic efforts to inspire us. And Zebra Nation is truly honored to be able to empower these heroes to do their best.
But Zebra’s mission to “Restore Our Local Heroes” is not ours alone. As we’ve worked tirelessly to support front-line workers during the pandemic, our partners around the world have, too. That’s why, in honor of our 30th anniversary as a public company and our award-winning partner community, we’re donating US$30,000 to charities chosen by our partners.
Join Us in “Doing Well by Doing (More) Good”
If you’re a member of the Zebra PartnerConnect Program, we invite you to tell us in 500 words or less how you have supported front-line workers during the pandemic. Each submission qualifies you to win US$5,000 for the charity of your choice and the opportunity to have your story told right here on the Your Edge blog. (Up to six winning entries will be selected globally.)
You can learn more and submit your essays here. Just be sure to do so before the September 20, 2021 deadline.
