2024 TPG THROWDOWN RECAP
Thursday, September 5, 2024
We are so grateful to everyone who worked tirelessly, sponsored generously, and participated with fervor in the 3rd Annual TPG Throwdown: Cornhole for a Cause. Thanks to our TPG volunteers, our sponsors, and our cornhole teams, we raised a grand total of $124,010 and counting!
This was divided between our 2024 beneficiaries Kinship House and CASA for Children Clackamas County, both of which focus on children in the foster or legal systems in need of support. Please continue to remember these organizations by volunteering your time or making donations throughout the year!
2024 PADDLE PALOOZA RECAP
Wednesday, June 12, 2024
What a great time we had at our very first pickleball tournament, hosted on a beautiful day outside at our TPG offices in Renton, WA. Our sponsors, volunteers, and pickleball teams came together to raise $50,050 for this year’s beneficiaries Girls Inc. of the Pacific Northwest and Athletes for Kids Youth Mentoring – a smashing success for our very first event in the Puget Sound region!
We are happy to say we’ll be back in 2025 with another round of Paddle Palooza, so keep it fresh and limber ‘til then, pickleball fans!
#GIVE30 BY 2030
TPG is a purpose-driven organization with employee ownership. Our intent is to make a difference in the community and to inspire others to do the same.
Our #Give30 campaign was launched in 2020 and is a 10-year goal to give back $30 million in 1) donated time and money to the community and 2) annual profit sharing for our own employees; by 2030, we expect to have expanded company ownership to 100% of employees. And we are well on our way.
Emily-Rose Galati
Executive Director
Our first annual TPG Throwdown in 2022 was a great way to kick off the Foundation’s fundraising efforts. We look forward to growing and expanding our portfolio of events, to provide local nonprofits with game-changing gifts to further their missions. We are grateful to the sponsors, participants, and generous donors who will help the Foundation reach its goals.

BIG GOALS
The Foundation’s focus is on root-cause issues and corresponding non-profits, so that TPG can:
- help our communities thrive, and
- support the next generation in moving upward and onward.
The goal is to “move the needle forward” for a small, select group of non-profit organizations so that they achieve their big goals. We want to give significant and game-changing gifts to those non-profits that are making a big difference.
PHILANTHROPY AWARD
Through the act of giving, we not only adhere to our TPG mission statement, but we strengthen our involvement in and commitment to our communities as well as our employees. We advance our own wellbeing through acts of volunteerism, financial assistance, and engagement with those around us.
We are proud to announce that for the 14th consecutive year, we have been honored as one of the Top Ten Corporate Philanthropists in the medium-size-company category ($10-50 million in revenue) by the Portland Business Journal.
