TEAM NOTES HELPING PEOPLE SUCCEED: THE HEART OF AVERITT FROM GARY SASSER
Helping people succeed is one of the core elements of our culture. It’s at the heart of all we do. We certainly do that through the services we provide for our customers, and by supporting our associates with strong career opportunities and top-notch facilities and equipment. Averitt Charities , our charitable giving organization. This partnership between Averitt and our associates gives back to the communities we serve. Averitt Charities includes Averitt Cares for Kids and our support for the good works of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It One of the most important ways we help people succeed is through also includes the Team Up Community Challenge , through which we volunteer with local organizations across our system to make a difference for people in need. Each of these programs helps fund Averitt Charities. From weekly associate
contributions of $1 and the company match to those donations, to recognizing our associates’ Team Up Community Challenge hours and honoring our associates’ achievements, life events and milestones, we're working together in a big way. That’s what The Power of One is all about. We currently have more than 96% of associates who are members of Averitt Cares for Kids, giving $1 a week to support the good works of St. Jude. That’s an impressive number, and it shows the kind of people we have on our team. I look forward to the day when we can have 100% participation. I believe that goal is attainable, and it will be wonderful to see what’s possible when we’re able to achieve that milestone. T m
