Philanthropic Activities

Community Involvement

For over a decade, GNY has had tremendous success sponsoring fundraising events for various employee voted charities. Over the years, we have raised money for The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation (2013), St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (2014), The Wounded Warrior Project (2015), Alzheimer’s Association (2016), Make A Wish Foundation (2017), Shriners Hospitals for Children (2018), American Cancer Society (2019), Stephen Siller Tunnels to Towers Foundation (2020), National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) (2021), Doctors Without Borders (2022), Feeding America (2023), and ASPCA (2024). GNY also provides an ongoing employer matching contribution for employee donations made to the Red Cross. The feedback we have received from employees who dedicated their time & resources to the various campaigns has continued to be overwhelmingly positive and we have all enjoyed the opportunity to partner with our co-workers and business partners for such good causes throughout the years.

GNY employees vote annually to select a charity to support by means of in-house fundraisers such as raffles, trivia contests, snack tables and a paid half day to volunteer in person. In 2024, GNY employees nominated and voted to sponsor ASPCA. ASPCA has led the way in fighting cruelty, rescuing and securing adoptions for animals in need, and driving significant legislative change that protects their lives and welfare.
