Gatekeeper Systems enjoys being involved in charitable activities and “Giving Back” to the community that has been so supportive. Gatekeeper is committed to supporting those in need and thus started the “Gatekeeper Gives Back” program. The company shows support with donations while employees generously volunteer their time and skills in the spirit of giving back. Listed below is information regarding some of the programs that Gatekeeper is involved with.
Stock the Pantry
Everything is bigger in Texas, especially Gatekeeper's giving spirit! The Gatekeeper Texas team participated in the "Stock the Pantry" drive by collecting food, clothing, and various personal items to help families in need. It was a wonderful cause and Gatekeeper was happy that they could serve as a helping hand.
Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure
Gatekeeper has had a wonderful and busy summer giving back. Gatekeeper donated to the Susan G. Komen Race for Cure foundation as part of attending their Pink Tie Ball event. As part of this, Gatekeeper was invited to watch the Anaheim Angels baseball batting practice before a game against the Seattle Mariners. Everyone had a great time and felt honored to be involved with such a great cause!

 Susan G. Komen Race
The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Series raises significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. These events celebrate breast cancer survivorship and honor those who have lost their battle with the disease. Up to 75 percent of the net income from each Race stays in the community to fund local breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects.
There is still time to donate to the cause. Please click on the link below. A big thank you to the Gatekeeper team as well as all their friends and family that participated and/ or donated to the September 2008 event in Orange County. Together we all can help fight breast cancer.

Project 999
The Project 999 foundation was established to assist the families of any Orange County POST Certified Deputy or Officer who is injured or killed in the line of duty. Each year participants ride approximately 630 miles from the California Peace Officers' Memorial in Sacramento, where the ride participants are given time to reflect on the sacrifice made by those who have lost their lives, to the Orange County Peace Officers' Memorial in Santa Ana, California. Each rider represents a fallen Orange County Law Enforcement Officer. Kudos to Brett, Hank, and Mike, three of the Gatekeeper team who raised money and rode in the 2008 ride.
