Thursday, May 28 is United Way’s 8th annual Community Impact Awards which recognize leaders in corporate volunteerism and philanthropy. Awards are given in various levels, with the most prestigious being the Spirit of the Bay Award. This honor recognizes a company that has exhibited the deepest levels of commitment to the community. This year’s event is being held at the Wells Fargo Penthouse.
This year 34 companies submitted applications for the Community Impact Awards, which were reviewed by an independent evaluation committee. This group, composed of representatives from Bay Area corporations actively involved with United Way, weighed various factors including, but not limited to volunteerism and Week of Caring participation, corporate and employee giving, and other forms of engagement with United Way.
Previous winners of the Spirit of the Bay include Chevron (07/08), and Valero Benicia refinery (06/07).
