The spirit of giving back to the community is deeply embedded in the culture of Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation.  The company presented a $2.1 million gift to United Way of the Coastal Empire to be put toward the community goal of $8,338,000. 

United Way President and CEO Gregg Schroeder and Campaign Chair Kay Ford accepted the check and thanked Gulfstream and thousands of its employees for their continued support and generosity.  “United Way of the Coastal Empire is grateful for the substantial donation, which will help vital programs and services throughout its four-county service area. The culture of giving that has been created and nurtured within Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation is second to none.  As our single largest supporter, Gulfstream not only gives generously, but they also volunteer to make a difference in the lives of others,” said Gregg Schroeder.  Gulfstream’s total contribution to United Way consists of the employee pledges and corporate commitment.

Gulfstream’s generous support will help United Way continue investing in critical programs in Education and Youth Development, Economic Independence, and Health and Wellness. United Way funds more than 100 programs and services at 58 agencies in Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, and Liberty Counties. 

The goal of this year’s United Way fundraising campaign is $8,338,000.  To date, United Way has raised $6,745,952 or 81% of goal.  The results will be announced at the Victory Celebration on Friday, November 18^th at 11:45 am at Hyatt Regency Savannah.  The event is open to the public.  Tickets are $25 per person or $250 for a table of 10.
