Toronto, ON February 26, 2008 – Toronto based online marketing firm Strider Inc.
has been awarded the Grand Prize in the annual Bruce Clay Inc. SEO
Charity Contest. The contest paired SEO companies with a charity of their choice, and the winning proposal was
selected by the team at Bruce Clay Inc.
The SEO Charity contest invited submissions from SEO freelancers and
agencies around the world, with the winner to be given a pass to the
highly respected Bruce Clay Inc. Basic and Advanced Certification
training program, and a pass to the Search Engine Strategies conference
in New York. To enter, each contestant selected a community charity
with an existing website and created a proposal to apply SEO techniques
to improve the search ranking and performance of the charity’s website.
Strider Inc. has committed to donate 1 year of search engine
optimization for the charity’s website.
The Elisha Foundation
is a charitable organization based in Oregon, with a mission of
ministering to families with children with special needs. Through the
organization of family retreats, TEF aims to encourage each member of
the family, including siblings who are not disabled. Retreats offered
by The Elisha Foundation feature a variety of medical specialists and
therapists, activities for every family member, and dedicated child
care to relieve parents who care for special needs children on a
continual basis. TEF was founded in 2004 by the Reimer family, whose
son, Elisha, was born in 1997 with Down Syndrome. In 2006 TEF began a
program ministering to military personnel disabled in combat.

of this calibre is quite a thrill for our young firm, but to be able to
help a charity that’s close to our hearts is simply amazing. The Elisha
Foundation has such a unique and important mission, I’m just excited
that we are able to raise awareness for the work Justin Reimer and his
team are doing. Every one of us at Strider Inc. has family members with
special needs, and we see the value in this ministry.”
