For many years now, PLM has run a yearly United Way Campaign to bring our employees together to participate in a month-long giving event in support of local charities and nonprofits. In 2022, our team had another banner year with 100 percent employee participation in pledging donations through United Way. We managed to hit 100 percent participation within only two weeks from the kickoff of our campaign which is a tribute to the commitment that PLM employees have for the United Way.
With 158 employees participating with an average pledge of $526, we ended with $83,127 in employee donations. These funds were matched by PLM at $1.50 for every $1 for employees, and $2 for every $1 for new employees. With the PLM match, donations from retirees, and additional funds collected from fundraisers, raffles, and events, we ended up with an impressive $233,647. These dollars were allocated to 175 different charitable organizations in the United Way network throughout the country.
We were impressed to see 42 employees step up as Leadership Donors (a person donating $1,000 or more per year), and to see the many new PLM employees partaking in the charitable giving to ensure a successful campaign for us all. We’re very proud of our entire team for another successful campaign and grateful for everyone’s dedication and generosity to support the communities around them.
