WESTON, FL. September 2014 – Golden Gate BPO Solutions, a global provider of customer management and business process outsourcing solutions, provided live US-based call center support for the Stand Up To Cancer primetime TV commercial broadcast on September 5, 2014.
Stand Up To Cancer announced that it has received, so far, more than $109 million in donations and pledges in an effort to accelerate groundbreaking research and new treatments for cancer patients as quickly as possible.
Golden Gate BPO Solutions had over 700 of its call center agents agree to take donation calls from viewers over the television program’s four-hour period.
“We were so delighted to have the opportunity to be a part of this important cause. And, we are so proud of all the agents who quickly, and without hesitation, raised their hands to commit their time, spending an extra 4 hours on a Friday night to make it happen. The entire experience for all of us was truly gratifying,” noted Stephen Ferber, Managing Partner of Golden Gate BPO Solutions.
