To celebrate the milestone, Analytics8 brought others in on the fun. First, employees got to choose local charities in each city where there is an office for the company to donate money. "We've been given so much over the past 10 years that we wanted to give back to organizations doing great work for our communities," said Analytics8 President, David Fussichen.

Analytics8 made donations to the following organizations:

• Chicago– Alzheimer's Association, American Foundation for Suicide prevention, Community Counseling Centers of Chicago and Urban Initiatives
• Raleigh – Jimmy V Foundation

• Madison – Hope & A Future
• Minneapolis – Robin's Nest Children's Home
