When you hear \u201cend of year recap\u201d, you probably imagine a big hall full of bored people that cannot wait for the managers to finish their polished presentations. Well, not when the recap event is happening at SiteGround! What we had instead, was a totally transformed office with one half of it looking like a gambling room with Roulette, Black Jack, Texas Hold’em and hot hostesses and the other half reminding of the Olympic Games and holding sport tournaments. These gaming activities were followed by the real yearly recap presentation that I bet was more fun and had better hosts and videos than the last Oscars. And the whole thing ended up with what can be surely awarded as the best night-life event of the year.<\/p>\n

What was this end-of-year gaming craze about?<\/h3>\n

Actually, as frivolous as this may look on the surface, the gaming initiative was organized and held for a really good cause! It aimed to raise funds among SiteGround employees to support two local orphanages and some of their kids to continue their higher education for the whole next year. The aim was achieved. With the money donated by all the employees and tripled by the SiteGround owner and CEO we will make the next year better and more meaningful for several talented children! The whole initiative was suggested and organized voluntarily by a group of SiteGround employees. They have dedicated a substantial part of their free time to talk personally to the children in need, to suggest the best way to help them, to come up with the idea and to actually organize the fund-raising event.<\/p>\n
