Support Communities and Nonprofit
Organizations
Bobcat Company is celebrating the season of giving as the
organization and its employees wrap up several initiatives aimed at
giving back and providing emergency disaster relief to local
communities.
Doosan Bobcat Community Days
In early fall, Bobcat employees around the world – including
throughout North America – gave back by volunteering in the
communities where they live and work as part of its bi-annual
Doosan Bobcat Community Days, a companywide volunteer effort.
“Just as Doosan Bobcat’s teams are committed to empowering
customers and each other to accomplish more, we are also committed
to building stronger communities and a better tomorrow,” said Scott
Park, Doosan Bobcat CEO and vice chairman. “By volunteering our
time and talents, our employees around the world continue to make
an impact on the communities where we live and work.”
To date, more than 1,350 employees across Doosan Bobcat’s global
footprint have volunteered more than 5,600 hours to support nearly
100 community projects this year.
Employee volunteers carried out a variety of activities,
including picking up roadside litter, planting trees, and helping
nonprofits with landscaping and facility tasks. In applicable
projects, volunteers used a fleet of Bobcat equipment – such as
compact loaders, excavators, compact tractors, mowers and more – to
make tough jobs easier, while increasing efficiency and
productivity.
Hurricane Disaster Relief
In late fall, Bobcat employees and dealers deployed Bobcat
equipment, attachments and supplies to communities in several
states impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Bobcat also donated $885,000 worth of equipment, including
forklifts, portable generators and light towers, to The Salvation
Army to support hurricane relief efforts in the Southeast U.S.
Bobcat Fall Giving Campaign
Bobcat and its employees also recently wrapped up their fall
giving campaign, donating more than $189,000 to 139 nonprofit
organizations across the U.S.
Through this initiative, Bobcat supports employees by matching
their donations dollar for dollar (up to $3,000 per person) to
further amplify employees’ generosity toward eligible, 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organizations.
“It is our mission to empower people, and being a good neighbor
in our communities is part of our commitment and culture,” Park
continued. “We ensure our employees have the support and time to
give back because making a difference in the world starts at
home.”
