2018 marks GAI’s 60th anniversary and we’re celebrating by sharing our success with the communities where we live, work, and play.
Through a year-long corporate giving campaign dubbed ’60 for 60,’ GAI employees have come together to take part in charitable activities ranging from working 60 minutes at a community garden to donating school supplies for 60 local students. Our company has a long history of giving and volunteerism, and the ‘60’ theme of this special initiative represents just a starting point—employee efforts often surpass any pre-set goals. Below you’ll find a sampling of 60 for 60 events around GAI as well as a display of our 60 for 60 Flickr gallery.
While GAI’s 60th anniversary concludes in December, our 60 for 60 campaign is just part of our company’s continuous effort to give back to our neighbors. And the 60 for 60 corporate giving campaign has gone beyond helping charitable organizations: GAI’s employees have gained the fulfillment, gratification, and sense of shared purpose that comes from helping others in need.
GAI has inspired employees, friends, family, and clients to get involved by continuously documenting our 60 for 60 activities on Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter using #60for60. Connect with us on social media to find out more about GAI’s 60th anniversary and our many celebratory giving activities.
