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. This year’s campaign, themed “Building a Stronger Community, Together,” was the third year the company implemented a fully virtual campaign for its more than 42,000 employees across the United States.

“It is continually an honor to watch Ryder employees go above and beyond to demonstrate how great the spirit of giving is across the company,” says Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez. “This year, we saw record employee participation and, for the first time in the 40-plus-year United Way relationship, Ryder will donate $1 million to the United Way to support local communities across the country where Ryder employees work and live. That is a tremendous accomplishment thanks to our amazing people, the Ryder teams involved with promoting and encouraging employee participation, and to the leadership of our campaign chair, Sandy Hodes.”

Funds raised through the annual campaign go to carefully vetted programs and organizations across the country, focusing on health, education, and financial stability. United Way uses these funds to find needs in the communities they support where they will be best served.

“We are extremely grateful to our long-standing partner Ryder, and its employees, that support the vital work of United Way in communities around the country,” says president & CEO of United Way Miami, Symeria T. Hudson. “The $1 million contribution is a significant high-water mark for Ryder, joining only the most committed organizations that support the wellbeing of their communities.”
