Employees Pledge Donations, Hold Fundraisers
and Volunteer Time to Support Local Communities
Orbital ATK, Inc. (NYSE: OA), a global leader in aerospace and
defense technologies, announced that through its 2016-2017 United
Way campaign, it raised more than $1.1 million. This year’s
campaign total includes employee pledges, amounts raised from local
fundraisers, cash donations, and a 20 percent matching contribution
from the company.
“Orbital ATK is proud to continue our support for United Way
agencies that provide critical services to thousands of people in
the communities where our employees live and work,” said Blake
Larson, Orbital ATK’s Chief Operating Officer. “The United Way
focuses on values that are important to Orbital ATK, and we feel it
is both a responsibility and a privilege to give back to our
communities.”
In addition to financial donations, employees across the company
volunteered at local Day of Caring events. In the City of
Guadalupe, Arizona, Orbital ATK employees partnered with the United
Way Valley of the Sun to paint a mural and make other improvements
at a local elementary school. At four locations in Utah, employees
painted, landscaped, cleaned and made repairs at community centers
and provided activities for children and adults with special needs.
Overall, Orbital ATK team members dedicated nearly 700 volunteer
hours in their local areas.
Larson praised the many volunteers who organized and
participated in on-site fundraisers, activities and events over the
last several weeks. “Our employees make a tremendous difference by
donating their time to facilitate the campaign and to volunteer in
their communities. Their efforts make it possible for families and
individuals in need to receive basic services as well as help
obtaining education, achieving financial stability and living
healthy lives. Orbital ATK truly 'Lives United.'”
