Each year, the workplace giving campaign is organized by Ryder
executives and employee volunteers who plan and execute five days
of fundraising activities, with donations being made through an
online pledge portal. This year’s campaign, themed “Building a
Stronger Community, Together,” was the third year the company
implemented a fully virtual campaign for its more than 42,000
employees across the United States.
“It is continually an honor to watch Ryder employees go above
and beyond to demonstrate how great the spirit of giving is across
the company,” says Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez. “This
year, we saw record employee participation and, for the first time
in the 40-plus-year United Way relationship, Ryder will donate $1
million to the United Way to support local communities across the
country where Ryder employees work and live. That is a tremendous
accomplishment thanks to our amazing people, the Ryder teams
involved with promoting and encouraging employee participation, and
to the leadership of our campaign chair, Sandy Hodes.”
Funds raised through the annual campaign go to carefully vetted
programs and organizations across the country, focusing on health,
education, and financial stability. United Way uses these funds to
find needs in the communities they support where they will be best
served.
“We are extremely grateful to our long-standing partner Ryder,
and its employees, that support the vital work of United Way in
communities around the country,” says president & CEO of United
Way Miami, Symeria T. Hudson. “The $1 million contribution is a
significant high-water mark for Ryder, joining only the most
committed organizations that support the wellbeing of their
communities.”
“Every year, we ask Ryder employees to support the United Way,
and every year our organization responds with a generosity that is
both inspiring and humbling. This year was no different,” adds
Sandy Hodes, Ryder’s senior vice president, chief procurement
officer and corporate development officer. “Providing support and
giving back in the communities where Ryder employees work and live
is an inherent part of our culture at Ryder. Our support will go to
educational, healthcare, and financial resiliency organizations and
initiatives that are doing the most to help communities. It will go
toward helping people—our friends and neighbors—who simply need a
little assistance making ends meet.”
