Averitt Cares For Kids—This Year’s Contributions
By Averitt Careers on Nov 1, 2023 8:00:00 AM
Averitt Cares for Kids is a non-profit charitable giving organization funded by and on behalf of our associates. This year, Averitt associates have been able to donate $1,200,001 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the largest donation in the history of our partnership. Additionally, since the beginning of Averitt’s partnership with St. Jude in the 90s, we’ve raised more than $11 million total.
We were also able to donate enough Play-Doh to last St. Jude an entire year and foster children’s creativity at St. Jude’s.
All of this is made possible through the power of one program, where associates elect to have $1 per week contributions deducted from their payroll on a weekly basis, associate contributions, company contributions made in recognition of associates' accomplishments, participation in Team Up Community Challenge projects, and life events.
Thanks to our associates and this partnership, these children and their families have hope for the future!
