Copiers Plus, in partnership with KYOCERA Document Solutions awarded $500 donations to 40 different organizations across North Carolina to honor its upcoming 40th anniversary in business.
The “40 Years of Caring: Sharing the Love Across NC campaign” aimed to commemorate the shared journey of Copiers Plus and KYOCERA by giving back to the communities they have served since 1985.
“This entire process has been both humbling and inspiring. The organizations nominated for this initiative represent such incredible missions and narrowing the list to just 40 was one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make. The stories and work shared by these groups were so powerful that they moved me to tears and made me pause to reflect on how I, personally, and we, as a company, can do even more to care for our neighbors. There is no better way to celebrate 40 years of serving North Carolina than by supporting these organizations that give so much to their communities every single day with the key ingredient my grandfather has instilled in our company: CARE,” shared Drew Smith, Director of Communications for Copiers Plus.
The nomination process was open to the public from Dec. 5, 2024, to Feb. 14, 2025, and incurred over 100 submissions from organizations across the state. The only requirement for nominated organizations was that they must be actively and legally operating in North Carolina. The winning organizations were selected by a team of six employees from Copiers Plus, with members representing each of their five branch locations.
