Portfolio Recovery Associates continued its long-standing  tradition of giving back to the community in 2010, and set  a Company record in the community-involvement area as well. It was in 2010 that PRA surpassed the $1 million  mark for charitable contributions made since 2004. “Throughout the years we have been in business, PRA  has demonstrated a commitment to helping others and  enriching the places we call home across the country,”  said Steve Fredrickson, PRA chairman, president and  chief executive officer. PRA gives back deeply and widely to communities  through monetary giving, corporate sponsorships, a  matching gift program, in-kind donations, executive  appointments to non-profit boards and committees, and employee volunteerism. Last year, PRA and its employees contributed to and participated in events that generated money for more  than 100 organizations, provided nearly 7,300 pounds of food to food banks, and supplied 410 pints of blood. PRA and its employees also donated more than $57,000  to the American Red Cross of Southeastern Virginia for  relief efforts in Haiti. 1  PRA Tennessee Regional Office employee Mallory Cole installs drywall with Jackson-Madison County Habitat for Humanity in March 2010.  2  In July 2010,  PRA Tennessee Regional Office employee Sean Printy places phone calls to collect money for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  3  PRA Norfolk Home  Office employees and families participate in the Ocean Conservancy International Coastal Cleanup in October 2010 at the Rudee Inlet near the Virginia Beach  oceanfront.  4  PRA Kansas Regional Office employees load more than 3,000 pounds of food collected for the Food Bank of Reno County in October 2010.  5  IGS employees participate in a food drive benefitting Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada in 2010, as they have done annually.  6  More than 50 PRA  Norfolk Home Office and Hampton Regional Office employees participate in the St. Mary’s Home for Disabled Children 5K Walk held October 2010 in Norfolk.  7  Government Services and PRA Birmingham Regional Office employees prepare food for a luncheon served to the First Light Women’s Shelter, a center for  homeless women and children in the Birmingham area, for Health Day in July 2010. 2 6 4 1 3 5 7 G IVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY Portfolio Recovery Associates, Inc. — 2010 Annual Report 16
