A hard-working family in Denver now has a home thanks to the partnership of Zunesis.
Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 14, 2016
Zunesis, an IT solution partner headquartered in Denver, hosted their fifth annual Night of Miracles on Saturday night, November 12th. The event was held at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and featured a range of speakers, including Habitat homeowner Ann Padilla-Parras, 9-time New York Times bestselling author Don Yaeger, and this year’s partner family who received the keys to their new home at the event.
Night of Miracles is an annual gala where the goal is to raise enough money to fund one home for a deserving Denver family. The tradition of Night of Miracles was started because Zunesis not only wanted to give back to their community through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver, but they also wanted to create an avenue for their valued IT partners in the community to give back as well. Thus, the primary source of funding for the event every year comes from corporate donations provided by Zunesis as well as their IT partners.
When asked about the event, Zunesis CEO, Steve Shaffer, commented, “It’s one of my favorite nights of the year. To see the look on our partner family’s face, the gratitude of the parents and the excitement of their children, when we hand them the keys to their new home is one of the most rewarding experiences. Habitat for Humanity is a fantastic organization, and we’re honored to partner with them.”
This year’s event was a huge success, raising beyond the amount required to build a Habitat home. All additional proceeds also go to Habitat and contribute to even more homes. Megan Shaffer, Marketing Manager at Zunesis, noted at the event, “In this one room, we have Zunesis employees, business partners, customers, and friends all coming together to achieve one goal: and that goal is to change a family’s life forever. It’s an honor to be a part of this.”
The bar is set high for Night of Miracles 2017, and Zunesis is eager to rise to the challenge.

On Tuesday, July 19th, the Zunesis team joined with Habitat of Metro Denver to work on the construction of the home for this year’s partner family.
DENVER, CO: Zunesis, an IT solution provider headquartered in Englewood, CO, has partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver since 2008. Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that partners with hard-working families to provide affordable and safe housing. Through this long-term partnership, Zunesis and Habitat have been able to fund and build a total of seven – and counting – homes in the Denver community.
Habitat for Humanity makes an incredible difference in the lives of their partner families. As a non-profit, they rely heavily on the partnership of the surrounding community to provide both the necessary funds and volunteer hours to build their homes.
Zunesis is a regular financial sponsor, and even hosts their own annual gala, the Night of Miracles, to raise funds for Habitat. However, the Zunesis team believes strongly in going above and beyond, so they do not stop with a financial donation. Each year, the entire company joins the Habitat construction crews to put in physical labor to help build homes.
“Writing a company check is great. I’m glad we do it,” noted Zunesis Marketing Manager, Megan Shaffer. “However, it doesn’t feel personal because it’s the company’s money. Getting out there, swinging a hammer, and meeting our partner family – that makes it personal. That makes us each feel like we’re investing in our community together.”
To add to that, Zunesis CEO Steve Shaffer commented, “This is one of my favorite days of the year. We believe so strongly in what Habitat does that it doesn’t even seem like we’re the ones donating anything. It’s truly our honor to be able to partner with this organization.”
As stated in the Zunesis Company Core Values, they believe strongly in two things:
- Building a strong team culture
- Making a positive impact on their community.
The annual build day with Habitat is a testament to these values, and each year, the company’s commitment to these values grows as the lives of both employees and home recipients are changed through partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
