Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), a leading global supplier
of high performance products to drive energy-efficiency, is pleased
to participate in the Applied Materials 'Silicon Valley Turkey
Trot'™. Fairchild is sponsoring the Fittest Firm Competition, one
of several “races within the race,” which challenges every company
in Silicon Valley to register as many employees as they can for the
race. This year’s participation in the Fittest Firm Competition has
more than doubled with over 190 companies and 1100 participants, up
from 78 companies and 550 participants in 2008.
The Silicon Valley Turkey Trot is a fundraising run/walk event
for the Santa Clara Family Health Foundation, Second Harvest Food
Bank and the Housing Trust of Santa Clara County. These charities
provide families with their most basic needs for "health, hope and
a home."
“We’re pleased to be a sponsor of the Silicon Valley Turkey
Trot. We feel it is important for Fairchild to support programs
that help people in the communities where we work and live,” said
Mark Thompson, Fairchild’s President and CEO. “We’re also
participating and helping to raise funds for this program. This
year we have over 60 Fairchild employees and their families taking
part in the run/walk. Community involvement is a responsibility we
take seriously, and each of our locations around the world
participates and supports local programs.”
The Silicon Valley Turkey Trot, founded and produced by the
Silicon Valley Leadership Group, is in its fifth year. The total
amount given to charity is expected to top $1 million by the time
the last participant crosses the finish line.
