Protolabs Celebrates Halloween by Building a Well and Their Community

Posted by Mitchell LeGrand on November 6, 2019

We were fortunate enough to spend part of our day on Halloween at Protolabs as they wrapped up their fundraiser for a water project at the Busia Primary School in Uganda. The school has a population of 1,025 students and this area has a high population of refugees, both South Sudanese and Congolese. To raise funds Protolabs held a Halloween themed bake sale, sold water drops and had a cascading flow of water down their glass stairwell, raffled off prizes like PTO and brewery tours, and had a penny war between the executives for their Trick or Treat Challenge; which required each Executive to take a bite out of what was either a caramel apple or a caramel onion! Altogether the project they were funding cost $3,850 and they managed to raise over $5,000! It just goes to show that even grownups at work can have fun while still making a big difference around the world! This is the kind of company culture we love to see!
