HUMAN INTEREST FEATURE
Almac Group to Support Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Laurel House, and St. Jude as part of $300,000 Global Giving Pledge
Employee-driven initiative will benefit 33 health and welfare organizations local to Almac's 11 global facilities
At the beginning of September, Almac Group announced the organization will donate to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Laurel House, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as part of an over $300,000 total contribution being made to 33 charities globally in the wake of COVID-19.
Almac recognizes that charitable organizations rely on significant donations typically received via monthly events and fundraising, and that those efforts have ceased as a result of the pandemic. To help support these organizations Almac launched a localized employee survey effort to determine regional charitable beneficiaries. Each of Almac's 5,600 employees across 11 main facilities located in the U.K., Europe, Asia and North America were given the opportunity to select charities, and in total, 33 organizations will receive a donation in direct response to Almac's employee feedback.
