Social Responsibility

Evoke Research and Consulting is proud of its strong commitment to the communities where we live and work. We believe that our responsibilities do not end with client services and that we must all invest time and energy to make a positive impact that extends beyond the corporate balance sheet. The Evoke managing partners lead the way for their employees, actively participating in a variety of volunteer programs and charitable organizations.

As part of our volunteer activities, the Evoke Team held its second volunteer event of sending care packages to our troops overseas via AnySoldier.com . Thank you to everyone that participated! Evoke is extremely proud of the support we are providing to troops serving our country. Through your efforts, Evoke was able to several dozen boxes to Marines serving in Afghanistan that included iPod touches. Evoke is also coordinating efforts through Operation Second Chance (OSC). We are extremely grateful to Cindy Mcgrew and the people from OSC who contributed 30 iPod Touches!! The packages were sent to SSgt Ramirez and her company, the 1st Marine Logistics Group (1st MLG) Supply Company, to help replenish personal items and supplies lost during a devastatingfire at Camp Le atherneck in May.

Additional Support

In addition to volunteer activities, we have been honored to make corporate contributions, often matching employee contributions, to numerous local charitable organizations.

Some of these organizations include:

Run to Honor Run To Honor is a memorial event held in conjunction with the Marine Corps Marathon and 10k in Washington DC. The purpose is to honor the lives, leadership, and legacy of Naval Academy graduates who have given their lives in service to our country. Evoke is a proud sponsor of the annual Run to Honor. The members of Evoke Chief Executive Officer Jim Loreto's 1995 graduating class of United States Naval Academy organized the inaugural event in 2007 to honor six shipmates who were lost in operations.  The Class of '95 again conducted the Run To Honor in 2008 and has expanded the 2009 event to honor fallen graduates from all Naval Academy Classes.
