Our Teams Illuminate Corporate Citizenship this Holiday Season
We saw our Corporate Citizenship Core Value in action in many ways this holiday season. From volunteering to impactful fundraisers, teams across the company embodied our commitment to making a difference in the communities we serve.
At the heart of our Company's mission lies a Core Value that resonates through action — Corporate Citizenship. This season, our teams across the country came together through various initiatives to have a positive impact on their local communities.
Santa’s Elves: Bettendorf Donates Gifts to Those in Need
To provide some extra holiday cheer this season, the Bettendorf division organized raffles, a Chili Cook-Off, and a donation tree to raise $2,800. The funds were used to purchase over 100 gifts for 20 seniors in the area through the Center for Active Seniors (CASI) and two families (with three children each). Twelve Bettendorf employees used the funds to purchase gifts, then the group wrapped each present and delivered them to CASI and the families.
