IntelliClear Selects Doctors Without Borders as Its 2007 Clarity Trust Recipient

IntelliClear announced the selection of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) as the 2007 recipient of its annual Clarity Trust donation. Under the yearly program, IntelliClear contributes 1% of its corporate profits to an outstanding charitable organization as part of an on-going corporate commitment to supporting communities and charitable activities across the globe.

"With another extraordinary year behind us we are honored to share our blessings and contribute to the selfless efforts of Doctors Without Borders who served hundreds of thousands of needy individuals across the globe in 2007," says Eric Shuster, President and CEO of IntelliClear. "We urge companies of all sizes to give whatever contributions they can to make a difference in the lives of those suffering in impoverished countries across the world," says Alex Kalamarides, Ph.D., Managing Director and General Partner of IntelliClear.

Winner of the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize, MSF is an independent international medical organization made up of medical and non medical volunteers dedicated to providing assistance to populations in distress caused by armed conflict, epidemics, natural or man-made disasters, or exclusion from health care. Receiving a four star rating from the online Charity Navigator, MSF observes neutrality and impartiality in the name of universal medical ethics to deliver humanitarian assistance regardless of race, religion, creed or political convictions. MSF volunteers respect their professional code of ethics in order to render services under often difficult and risky circumstances, while receiving a modest financial stipend in return. On any one day, close to 27,000 doctors, nurses, logisticians, water-and-sanitation experts, administrators, and other qualified professionals can be found providing medical care in international teams made up of local aid workers and their colleagues from around the world.
