New York - October 24, 2005: Undertone Networks, a premier online advertising network comprised of today's top media properties, volunteered for the second year in a row at New York Cares Day on October 22. New York Cares Day is an annual event organized by New York Cares, a community volunteer organization, which benefits New York City public schools.

Undertone employees painted an underwater-themed mural at PS 185 in Manhattan. "New York Cares Day is important to our employees," stated Michael Cassidy, President and CEO of Undertone Networks. "It's a great opportunity for us to come together as a team and support this very worthwhile event."

On New York Cares Day, nearly 8,000 volunteers helped paint a brighter future for New York City students at 110 public schools throughout the five boroughs. In just one day, more than 350 murals were painted; new line games were added to dozens of playgrounds; more than 50 libraries were organized; and hundreds of flowers were planted at New York City public schools. These efforts provided over $1,000,000 in value to city schools, while raising critical funds to support New York Cares.

About New York Cares

New York Cares is a community organization dedicated to helping meet critical community needs by mobilizing volunteers in New York. In 1987, a group of friends was eager to tackle the social challenges of New York City. Like many other caring New Yorkers with demanding work schedules, they searched in vain for an organization offering flexible, hands-on volunteer opportunities. Finding none, they decided to form a new organization, with a new and unique approach: New York Cares. This approach involves offering professional-quality volunteer organizing to a wide range of social service agencies, schools, and environmental groups. As one of the most rapidly growing volunteer organizations in New York City, New York Cares now has a full-time staff of 40 and a corps of over 20,000 volunteers.
