Office Liquidators Announces $35,000 'Makeover' Contest for Denver-Area Non-Profits

LAKEWOOD, CO--(Marketwire - January 25, 2010) - Office Liquidators, Colorado's largest provider of new, used and refurbished office furniture, today announced the details of its plans to donate $35,000 worth of furniture and related services for Denver-area, non-profit organizations.

The contest, called the Office Liquidators $35,000 Office Makeover, officially begins tomorrow, with the company and its judges accepting nominations on the Office Liquidators website, www.OfficeLiquidators.com. The winning organization will receive $30,000 worth of furniture and design/installation services from Office Liquidators, with another four runner-up organizations each receiving $1,250 worth of furniture. Office Liquidators' sister company, Corporate Environments, will handle the design and space planning requirements for the contest.

Nominees will be judged on the basis of their devotion to ethical business practices in pursuit of the non-profit's mission, on the positive influence the organization has made on the community, and on the organization's need for efficient office space. Winners will be determined by public vote and a panel of judges including Former Colorado First Lady Frances Owens, KCNC-TV news anchor Jim Benemann, Denver Post business columnist Penny Parker, Gensler Principal Linda Nelson and Colorado Business Bank President Andy Bacon.

"So many charitable organizations are doing so much with so little in this economy, Office Liquidators is eager to help advance their good causes," said Dennis Meyer, CEO and founder of Office Liquidators. "Our goal is to provide the office settings that will make these organizations more productive, and we anticipate that the Office Liquidators Office Makeover will become an annual event."

Office Liquidators and contest co-sponsors The HON Company and Allsteel Inc. encourage any Denver-area 501(c)3 organization to direct its members, volunteers, donors, patrons, staff, etc. to go to the Office Liquidators' website and complete the nomination form. Anyone with knowledge of the organization's good works is eligible to make the nomination, beginning tomorrow.

Nominations will be accepted through noon, Feb. 15. The five finalists will be posted on the Office Liquidators website by March 3. Public voting starts March 4 and ends March 29, with the winner to be named soon thereafter.
