Edelman today announced that it has donated more than $1M in cash and in-kind services to combat worldwide hunger as part of its 60th anniversary celebration.
The Edelman 60³ global citizenship initiative, which called for staffers at its 60-plus office network to participate in 60 days of fundraising/volunteerism, benefitted the United Nations World Food Programme and more than 70 non-governmental, anti-poverty organizations.
The No. 1 independent firm also signed up for the #GivingTuesday national day of giving that kicks off at the start of the holiday season. Nearly 50 Edelman Chicago staffers today volunteered at two Habitat for Humanity home-building sites.
John Edelman, managing director of global engagement and corporate responsibility, said of the Initiative “there is no better way to hour our 60th anniversary and my father, Dan Edelman’s, legacy of giving back to the community.” |
