American Water Works Company, Inc. (NYSE: AWK), the largest
publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility, announced today
the company has raised $359,000 company-wide for local United Way
organizations across the nation.
“Our employees have a long history of supporting United Way, and
we are fortunate to have such generous people with a wonderful
giving spirit that want to make a positive impact,” said Walter
Lynch, president and CEO of American Water. “We’ve all seen the
devastating effects that COVID-19 is having in our local
communities, and now more than ever, United Way needs our support.
That is why American Water joined United Way’s fight for the
health, education and financial stability of every person in our
community and around the world.”
This year’s virtual workplace giving campaign was a success for
American Water. In addition to financial donations, American Water
employees participated in creative, virtual fundraising events
including a 5K Turkey Trot, an online auction, virtual BINGO games,
trivia games and other fun virtual events, all contributing to
United Way.
A key contributor to this year’s United Way campaign, was the
American Water Charitable Foundation which donated $50,000 towards
the company’s annual campaign.

Corporate Responsibility program, which is designed to create a
lasting, positive impact on the communities the company serves.
