Microsoft Employees Rally Around the 5K to Help Local Causes

Oct 15, 2011 7:00 AM ET

Yesterday employees and their families turned out for what’s always the most colorful - well perhaps with the exception of the Flamingos - event of the Microsoft employee giving month.

This year participation was up on last year as spouses and domestic partners were allowed to join the fun. The registration fees will benefit four nonprofit organizations; Teen Feed, A Better Seattle, Washington Trails Association, and Northwest Organization for Animal Help. Representatives from each organization were at the event sharing the work they do.

In addition to the actual run, there was music, refreshments, entertainment, and the most adorable puppies you have ever seen.

As you can see it was a fun day for great causes. All of our pictures are available on Facebook.
