Directly to Areas Affected by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and
Maria
Orbital ATK, Inc. (NYSE: OA), a global leader in aerospace and
defense technologies, today announced that through its 2017-2018
United Way campaign, the company raised $1.3 million. This year’s
campaign total includes employee pledges, local fundraisers, cash
donations, and a ten percent matching contribution from the
company. In addition to these traditional campaign efforts, the
company contributed almost $200,000 in both corporate funds and
employee donated personal time off to the United Way for relief
efforts in areas affected by hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria.
“We are proud to support the United Way and to give continued
funding to member agencies that provide our communities with
critical human services,” said Blake Larson, Orbital ATK’s Chief
Operating Officer. “This year presented a unique situation with
multiple disasters in areas where our employees and customers live
and work and we are proud to be able to make a generous
contribution to help these communities in their recovery
efforts.”
In addition to financial contributions, employees across the
company volunteered at local Day of Caring events throughout the
month of September. Orbital ATK set a record with its Day of Caring
events in Chandler and Guadalupe, Arizona, having the most
volunteers from one company in the state. With 120 Arizona-based
employee volunteers, the team provided 691 volunteer hours
supporting two local elementary schools in beautification projects.
Also, for the 12th year in a row, employees from Orbital ATK’s
Aerospace Structures Division in Utah sponsored a fun-filled day
with laughs, face painting, a baseball game and barbeque lunch for
moderately to severely disabled adults at the Pioneer Adult
Rehabilitation Center (PARC) in Clearfield, Utah.
Larson praised the many volunteers who organized and
participated in on-site fundraisers, activities and events over the
last several weeks. “The efforts of our employee volunteers will
help some of our neighbors gain self-sufficiency and become
productive members of our community; give others a fresh start by
providing food, shelter and job training; help families overcome
obstacles through available counseling; and provide our youth with
safe and productive social environments.”
