NeoNova shaves heads (and beards) for #GivingTuesday

RALEIGH, N.C., Dec. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NeoNova, an industry leader in cloud-based services for regional telcos, a Microsoft Gold Certified partner and authorized premier reseller of the Google Apps™ suite of communication tools, today will hold a "Shave Off" in support of #GivingTuesday and Duke PBMT Family Support Program through NeoNova Cares.

NeoNova is a 2014 member of #GivingTuesday, an effort to transform how people think about, talk about and participate during giving season. #GivingTuesday harnesses social media to create a national moment dedicated to giving, similar to how Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become days synonymous with holiday shopping.

Duke Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant (PBMT) Unit
Duke PBMT Family Support Program is a non-profit organization providing programs, resources and services to patients and families while at Duke Children's Hospital. NeoNova has been a supporter of PBMT since 2013, providing financial support and homemade meals to families. For #GivingTuesday 2013, NeoNova raised $1,000 for the organization through a "No-Shave November" promotion, where participants didn't shave for the month. With success of the campaign, the team this year exceeded its goal of $3,000, spurred by promises of executives shaving their heads at NeoNova's 2nd annual "Shave Off" scheduled for 2 p.m. EST today. The event will be broadcast live online.
