Monopoly Champs

Our team from GBU, made up of Jon Naser, Mark Aul, Steve Guidas and Ken Elliott, took home the Monopoly championship during a Corporate Monopoly Tournament which helped to raise funds for the National Kidney Foundation. The tournament took place at the Carnegie Science Center on November 9.

Red Cross Round-up

Top GBU producers gathered to pack emergency kits for the Red Cross during the 2023 Producer Incentive Trip in the Cayman Islands.

Holiday Heroes

GBU Home Office employees packed over 250 stockings for Operation Troop Appreciation’s Stockings for Soldiers campaign. Thank you to everyone who donated to sponsor a stocking for our military service men and women this season!

Kindness and Cardigans

GBU celebrated its second year of sponsoring Cardigan Day, a day of kindness in honor of Fred Rogers. This special day is led by Pittsburgh’s public broadcasting station, WQED. Home Office employees took the chance to cuddle up in their favorite cardigans for the day and spread kindness in the community.

Stop Cancer Campaign

Once again, GBU teamed up with the University of Pittsburgh Pitt Panthers to help stop cancer. GBU donated $100 to the American Cancer Society® for every third and fourth down stop made by Pitt during the season.

Every child can name a teacher who made a difference: the one who stayed late to help, offered encouragement at just the right moment or made learning feel exciting. Recognizing a teacher’s dedication doesn’t require grand gestures, but it does call for intention. Thoughtful appreciation gifts, especially during Teacher Appreciation Week or year-end celebrations, offer a tangible way to express heartfelt gratitude.
