AOL employees have always stepped up to help people in need and raise funds for some very deserving causes:

In December 2011, employees continued the tradition of leaving presents for children under the Christmas tree, which were collected by the ISPCC for distribution.

For Movember 2011, AOL's Mo Bros and Mo Sistas raised funds for the Irish Cancer Society for the third year running.

In September 2011, employees ran in the Dublin Half Marathon to raise funds for the Irish Kidney Association, and the company made a matching donation to GOAL for famine relief in Somalia.

For Monster Help Day 2011, over 150 employees spent the day working at Turvey Nature Reserve in Donabate, Co. Dublin.

As part of the 30-Day Service Challenge to mark the Huffington Post acquisition, employees undertook a sponsored walk in April 2011 to raise funds for The Jack & Jill Children's Foundation.

In December 2010, employees left presents for children and teenagers under the Christmas tree, which were then passed on to the ISPCC for distribution.

For Movember 2010, AOL's Mo Bros and Mo Sistas once again got together to support the Irish Cancer Society.

In September 2010, employees donated generously to DRIP, an Irish charity working in one of the regions worst affected by the floods in Pakistan. Employees contributed at a fundraising lunch and directly from payroll, with all donations matched by the company.

In May 2010, over 40 volunteers from AOL spent Monster Help Day 2010 at the Camphill Community in Dunshane, Co. Kildare.

Responding to GOAL's Haiti Earthquake appeal in January 2010, employees donated directly from payroll, with donations matched by the company.

For Movember 2009, AOL's Mo Bros and Mo Sistas joined forces to raise money for men's health issues, specifically prostate cancer.

AOL participants in the Dublin Half-Marathon and Marathon in September and October 2009 raised money for The Children's Medical & Research Foundation of Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin.

Employees have also volunteered their time and expertise to help those in many local community organisations, including An Cosán, Fettercairn Youth Horse Project, Killinarden Family Resource Centre and Cheeverstown House (CHESS), as well as teaching Junior Achievement programs in local national and secondary schools.

AOL was shortlisted in the Good Neighbour Community category in the Chambers Ireland 2008 President's Awards for Corporate Social Responsibility, and in the South Dublin Chamber Business in the Community Awards in the same year, where we were selected as overall winners of the Youth Award for our work with the Fettercairn Youth Horse Project.
