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. For this year’s campaign, themed “Provide
hope where it’s needed most,” Ryder hosted a combination of virtual
and in-person fundraising activities for its more than 48,000
employees across the United States.
“It is an honor to experience Ryder employees having fun while
giving back to the communities where they work and live,” says
Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez. “This year, our employees
went above and beyond to demonstrate how great the spirit of giving
is across the company as we saw increased levels of employee
participation, leading to a new giving record of $1.1 million to
the United Way to support communities across the country. Thanks to
our incredible people and the leadership of our campaign chair,
Steve Sensing, we are able to achieve this impactful donation.”
Funds raised from the annual company campaign are the driving
force that allows United Way to respond to a community’s most
complex needs, helping to ensure that all people have access to
quality education and the opportunity to lead healthy and
financially secure lives.
“United Way Miami and Ryder share similar visions to build
stronger communities where employees live and work and improve the
quality of life for all,” says Symeria Hudson, president and CEO of
United Way Miami. “For more than 40 years, through our partnership,
we have provided access to necessary resources that help local
families thrive. Ryder, an organization renowned for its
philanthropic contributions, consistently demonstrates dedication
to our shared cause, and for this enduring generosity, United Way
is profoundly grateful.”
“It always amazes me just how inspiring and humbling the
employees at Ryder are,” adds Steve Sensing, Ryder’s president of
supply chain and dedicated transportation solutions, and this
year’s campaign chair. “The generosity and support that our
employees display really makes the difference and sets us apart, as
it truly has become imbedded into our culture at Ryder. Ryder’s
support will go to educational, healthcare, and financial
resiliency organizations and initiatives that are doing the most to
help communities. It’s inspiring to know that friends and neighbors
will receive the support they need through our contributions to the
United Way.”
