Prudential Gouger O'Neal & Saunders Takes Part in Global Volunteer Day
Prudential Financial employees, clients, customers, friends and family members gave back to their communities through the company's 12th annual celebration of volunteerism last month.
As part of this year's Global Volunteer Day campaign, more than 32,000 volunteers completed 800 projects in more than 12 countries around the world.
More than 40 volunteers from the Southern Pines office of Prudential Gouger O'Neal & Saunders helped out at the Sandhills Moore Coalition for Human Care on Saturday, Oct. 6.
"Our Prudential Real Estate sales professionals want to give back to the community where we live and work," says Kay Beran, president, Prudential Gouger O'Neal & Saunders. "This commitment to bettering our community is very strong, and part of our company's culture."
Prudential's first Global Volunteer Day, formerly known as National Volunteer Day, was held on Oct. 28, 1995, with 5,000 employees participating in 100 projects. Since then, nearly a quarter of a million employees, clients, customers and friends have donated more than 1.1 million volunteer hours to 5,169 projects around the globe.

Global Volunteer Day includes all forms of community service, from doing home repairs for an elderly neighbor to preparing meals at a shelter. Volunteer projects that meet selected criteria earn a $1,000 Challenge Grant provided by the Prudential Foundation for the partnering nonprofit organization. To date, 1,928 projects have earned Challenge Grants totaling more than $1.928 million given to partnering organizations.
