National Guardian Life Insurance Co. recently announced that its corporate gift combined with employees’ personal pledges and donations totaled more than $114,000 to support United Way of Dane County’s 2023-2024 campaign.
“United Way of Dane County has been an impactful community resource for more than a century. For more than 70 years, NGL has been proudly partnering with United Way in its efforts to unite the community by offering beneficial resources, giving everyone the opportunity to succeed and thrive,” said Kim Shaul, interim president and CEO at NGL. “It’s inspiring to witness our team come together to give back to our communities through volunteer efforts and financial donations.”
Funding to United Way of Dane County benefits its strategic goals focused on early childhood, education, income and health with the mission to help build a community where everyone can succeed in school, work and life.
In addition to NGL’s corporate donation of $70,000 and employee payroll deductions, employees generously donate through fundraising events. Each year, the NGL employee campaign incorporates a variety of activities to donate to and participate in. There are virtual and in-person employee fundraisers, including bingo, Penny Wars, 50/50 raffles, silent auction, and a few others.
“Organizing both virtual and in-person fundraising opportunities for our NGL team members to participate in has been exciting. Even though most of our company is remote, we continue to raise more money from special events than prior years. It’s a true testament to our culture of serving others,” said Maria Lubick, NGL assistant vice president, corporate communications and community engagement. “Thank you to everyone at NGL for your ongoing support. And thank you to everyone at United Way for assisting us in organizing and coordinating our annual campaign.”
