Every 2023 issue of The Reporter will provide an update on one of GBU Life’s (GBU) four Community Pillars—Wellness, Education, Charitable Giving and Hometown Hero Support. The summer 2023 issue focuses on “Education,” including opportunities to enrich your community through volunteering and fundraising.

New Regional Partnership & New Opportunities for NY, NJ and PA Members

GBU has become a 2023 Contributing Regional Sponsor of MADD NY|NJ|PA! 

This expands a long-time relationship between GBU and 

MADD in the greater Pittsburgh area. MADD is also a new charity supported through GBU’s One Member at a Time program. To learn more please visit madd.org. 

MADD’s mission is to end drunk driving, help fight drugged driving, support the victims of these violent crimes and prevent underage drinking. All funds raised locally stay in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania to benefit MADD’s victim services, educational programs, law enforcement support and additional community activities.

GBU’s first corporate team of employees and family members (shown right and below) participated in Walk Like MADD Pittsburgh on May 7, 2023. They joined Team Jim, organized by member Jon Naser, and Team David, organized by member Pam Ondash. Collectively, GBU members raised $4,332, that grew to a total of $8,664 as part of their Give Back Group and GBU’s matched donations.

There are more Walk Like MADD events coming up! Visit walklikemadd.org and consider participating in one of these GBU-sponsored walks:

If you submit your team as a Give Back Group, you can have the funds you raise matched by GBU!

GBU employees donned crazy headgear on MADD Hat Day to increase awareness about the walk, sign up participants and raise some funds!
