THAN BUSINESS CONTRIBUTING TO OUR COMMUNITIES GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH WE LIVE AND WORK IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF MAXXAM’S CULTURE. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR 45 YEARS AND OUR TRADITION OF GIVING HAS PROUDLY EXPANDED. IN 2013, MAXXAM HAD A RECORD YEAR FOR COMMUNITY GIVING AND ENGAGEMENT.
In 2013, some of the highlights of community giving at Maxxam included an extremely successful Food Drive, dedicated typhoon and flood relief efforts, a United Way fundraising campaign, and NHL playoff fundraising for children’s charities. In total, Maxxam raised a record-breaking $190,000 for charities across Canada. More than raising funds, Maxxam employees were directly engaged in communities. ANNUAL FOOD BANK DRIVE For the 12th year in a row, Maxxam employees raised money for local food banks, bringing in a total of $41,800. This number was matched dollar-for-dollar by Maxxam, bringing the total donated contribution to a record-breaking $83,600. HELP FOR TYPHOON VICTIMS To assist relief efforts after the devastating impact of Typhoon Haiyan, Maxxam raised a total of $24,000 in support of the victims in the Philippines. Employees raised $7,000; Maxxam matched that amount, and committed an additional $5,000. ALBERTA FLOOD RELIEF EFFORTS In June 2013, over 100 Maxxam volunteers assisted Calgary communities in emergency flood relief efforts. Employees worked on site and cleaned up homes with Samaritan’s Purse, assembled food hampers at the Siksika Reserve, prepared warm meals with Neighbourlink and Community Kitchen, and put together personal hygiene kits to assist senior citizens displaced by the flood.
