Fortunate Giving: Building our communities

Our Company has a strong heritage of giving back. In 2015, we contributed approximately $1.5 million to our communities. Through our Fortunate Giving program, we support organizations that align with our business goals, our associates' passions and the communities where they live and work in the areas of education, the environment and housing.
