Company’s Contribution to Aid the Greater
Houston Area United Way in Recovery Efforts
Orbital ATK, Inc. (NYSE: OA), a global leader in aerospace and
defense technologies, announced today that the company is donating
$100,000 to the United Way of Greater Houston to aid in Hurricane
Harvey relief efforts in the area. The United Way of Greater
Houston supports emergency response organizations like the Red
Cross, Salvation Army and many others so they can act quickly in
times of disaster.
“Houston is known as America’s ‘Space City’ and the community
has a special connection with our company,” said David Thompson,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Orbital ATK. “It is the
current or former home of many Orbital ATK employees, as well as
home base to thousands of our industry colleagues at NASA’s Johnson
Space Center who need our help. We are proud to partner with the
United Way to provide direct assistance to the organizations and
people who need our support as they help those affected by this
devastating storm.”
One of Orbital ATK’s core values and guiding principles is
support for the communities in which we live and work, and the
company’s corporate partnership with the United Way provides a way
for employees to make an impact by giving back. Orbital ATK begins
its annual United Way campaign on September 5 with a goal of
raising $1 million for United Way chapters across the U.S. In
addition to corporate contributions, the company is encouraging
employees to consider pledging a portion of their 2018
contributions to the Greater Houston United Way.
"We are deeply grateful for the generosity
of Orbital ATK and its employees whose support will help
United Way provide recovery assistance to the thousands
of individuals and families across our region that have
been devastated by Hurricane Harvey," said Anna M. Babin, President
and CEO of United Way of Greater Houston.
Orbital ATK employs over 200 people in Texas with offices in
Houston, Fort Worth and Palestine, carrying out important space and
defense programs for domestic and international customers.
