United Way of Greater Los Angeles – WalkUnitedLA

SoCalGas was the top fundraising and participant team for United Way of Greater Los Angeles’ WalkUnitedLA at SoFi Stadium in November 2022, raising more than $100,000 and mobilizing nearly 900 team members both in person and virtually. With SoCalGas’ $25,000 major sponsor grant, United Way was able to raise much needed funds to go directly to the mission work and mobilize Angelenos to raise awareness countywide, celebrate their achievements, and discuss the work that needs to be done to break the cycle of poverty for our unhoused neighbors, students and working families. SoCalGas has raised more than $2 million for WalkUnitedLA (formerly HomeWalk) since its inception in 2007.

SoCalGas and the Building Industry Association of Southern California –Rose Parade

More than 200 SoCalGas volunteers joined the Building Industry Association of Southern California (BIASC) and youth volunteers to decorate their “Building the Future” 2023 Rose Parade float from Dec. 27 – 31, 2022. The float was designed by students from the BIASC’s Junior Builders program and featured homes of the past, present and future. The home of the “present” demonstrates the latest in sustainable and resilient home building. It was inspired by SoCalGas’ [H2] Innovation Experience, located in Downey, California, site of a new, clean renewable hydrogen microgrid and LEED platinum certified home (pending certification).
