"The Foundation gives TeleTech employees a way to positively impact their surrounding communities," said Emily Eikelberner, executive director of the TeleTech Community Foundation.

More than 5,000 employees, clients and family members volunteered approximately 8,000 hours of their own time to take donations from telethon viewers.
