Each spring, United Way of Pierce County acknowledges the outstanding work of companies and individuals in our community. These partners are critical to the advances being made in Pierce County through their financial support, volunteerism and advocacy.
The first category of nominees is the Campaign of the Year for Companies with less than 100 employees. Campaign awards recognize outstanding companies who demonstrate excellence in the conduct of their workplace campaigns. And the nominees are…
Altrom America Group – a leading distributor of import car parts and alternatives, Altrom chooses to give to United Way of Pierce County despite their location in King County. They support the community where they live through their campaign and by donating to the Gifts In Kind program.
APA – The Engineered Wood Association – APA was one of the many organizations that saw a reduction in its workforce but that didn’t stop this company from supporting the community. In addition to running a strong campaign, APA also supports the community year-round through food drives, back to school support, holiday giving and volunteering.
Baxter-Hobart Manufacturing Systems – This company‘s leadership sets the tone for their campaign, giving a remarkable corporate match to encourage employee giving. In addition to their outstanding campaign, Baxter-Hobart gives their time at an equally generous rate, supporting several organizations in their Orting neighborhood.
NuStar Energy – This company proudly boasts a 100% participation rate in their campaign. They also give through Gifts in Kind, volunteer their time and support families through seasonal giving.
Pilkey Hopping & Ekberg – Another company with 100% participation, this organization decided to focus on increasing their giving. They did just that by tripling their donations for 2009.
Salvation Army – Tacoma Corps – Over the last several years, this organization has increased its giving substantially, going from 12% participation a few years ago to 100% in 2009.
Ted Brown Music Company – This company took a fun approach to their campaign this year and it paid off. Exciting events combined with education to make this year’s campaign a success.
The winner will be announced April 27th at United Way of Pierce County’s Community Celebration. Congratulations to all of our nominees!
