For two weeks, approximately 1,000 employees voluntarily pledged
donations to United Way in an amount of their choosing, opting to
pay upfront or through payroll deductions. Additionally, the
Navient team will continue to support United Way with a variety of
engagement activities throughout the year.
“United Way of Central Indiana is grateful for the continued
support of Navient employees and applaud their commitment to
addressing our community’s most critical problems,” said Ann
Murtlow, president and CEO, United Way of Central Indiana. “This is
a great example of individuals stepping up to be the hand raisers
and game changers our neighbors need to achieve
self-sufficiency.”
To kickstart the annual fundraiser, Navient hosted a
carnival-themed “Agency Fair” event at its facility in Fishers
where staff members snacked on popcorn, pretzels and cotton candy
and visited booths of eight United Way agencies to learn about
community engagement opportunities. Navient staff in attendance
also competed to win various prizes that were raffled at the
event.
In addition, the company hosted a theme-filled “Spirit Week” to
promote awareness of the cause, where employees could wear their
favorite Halloween costume, t-shirt or dress up in Navient
attire.
“It’s exciting to connect the dedication, enthusiasm and
generosity of our employees with local United Way agencies to give
back to the community,” said Eric Johnson, senior director,
Navient. “Central Indiana is a better place because of United Way
and the organizations that work tirelessly to help those in need.
This is our way of saying thank you.”
Celebrating its 100th anniversary next year, United Way of
Central Indiana, with the help of agency partners, seeks to ensure
90 percent of local high school students graduate on time by 2021
and to reduce the childhood obesity rate by 12 percent by 2025 in
central Indiana, among other goals to benefit the community.
