“Looking ahead, we believe that our region’s companies will continue to integrate giving into their core business models and operations. We also believe that employees will increasingly consider a company’s engagement in corporate social responsibility in deciding where to work.”
StubHub is delighted to be the lead sponsor of Silicon Valley Community Foundation’s 2013 Corporate Citizenship Report. We’re proud that the Bay Area stands out nationally for the generosity of its corporations and employees, and are inspired by the ways each of us is integrating corporate citizenship more deeply into our core business. At StubHub, our corporate citizenship is fueled by the same energy that drives our business – a spirit of innovation, a commitment to increasing access for all, and a passion for improving the live event experience from end to end. Fundamentally, we are a community that connects millions of people around a shared love of live entertainment, and that alone is a powerful asset we strive to harness for good. For example, our philanthropic program Rising Stars helps to cultivate and encourage performers and athletes of tomorrow while increasing access and opportunity for at-risk youth. Beyond the dollars StubHub donates, we are constantly uncovering new ways to lend our audience of arts and sports fans and the talent of our employees to nonprofits that can benefit from their support. Meanwhile, just as our parent company eBay aims to power the world’s largest platform for charitable giving, StubHub is excited to explore new ways our own marketplace can be a fundraising engine for the nonprofit sector. Since formally committing to donate our proceeds on all ticket sales for charity events listed on StubHub, we’ve already donated more than $1 million to support a variety of causes. Last but not least, we draw inspiration from you, our fellow Bay Area companies. We applaud your efforts to advance the uniquely positive role your company can play in helping to solve society’s greatest challenges, and look forward to the continued growth and evolution of the field of corporate citizenship. With Regards,
Chris Tsakalakis President StubHub
