Piper Jaffray Receives Quality of Life Award from the Minneapolis
Regional Chamber of Commerce
MINNEAPOLIS, May 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Piper Jaffray & Co. received the
2004 Quality of Life Award from the Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Commerce at
the 13th annual Quality of Life Awards Dinner May 20. The firm was one of six
companies honored at the ceremony for its exceptional community commitment to
area businesses in 2003. Specifically, Piper Jaffray was recognized for its
workplace tutoring program, which helps students prepare for the Minnesota
Basic Standardized Test by matching students with Piper Jaffray employees for
weekly one-on-one tutoring sessions held at Piper Jaffray headquarters.
"We are extremely proud to receive this great award," said Tad Piper, vice
chairman of the board of Piper Jaffray Companies. "We have worked hard on this
program and our employees take great pride and passion in tutoring these
students each week. It is an integral part of our guiding principles at Piper
Jaffray to give back to the communities in which we live and work."
Piper Jaffray launched the Workplace Tutoring program in Spring 2003 with 25
seventh graders at Harry W. Davis Academy in Minneapolis. Following the success
of this partnership, the firm added an additional school partner, working with
20 seventh graders at Benjamin Banneker Middle School also in Minneapolis. In
addition, the firm coordinated a uniform and coat drive with the schools. In
August, Piper Jaffray employees held a back to school drive, collecting school
supplies and donations to help purchase uniforms for students at Harry W. Davis
Academy. This past winter, the firm held a coat drive, providing a new coat,
hat and mittens for all 247 students at Benjamin Banneker Middle School.
