This year’s Electric Boat Employees’ Community Services Association (EBECSA) campaign comes to an end on October 29.
Our 2021 campaign is completely remote this year, and this is your chance to not only help drive the campaign towards success, but make a difference in the communities you call home.
We would like to extend a reminder to those who may not have had the time or chance to view the campaign video and complete the iPledge form online. If you haven’t done so already, please take the time to view this year’s video and consider making a donation by filling out your electronic iPledge card. If you choose to make a donation, it will go to the community where you live, supporting over 100 local non-profit organizations that are providing food, medical services, childcare, shelter and other essentials to our neighbors in their time of need. Due to the ongoing challenges brought on by COVID-19, this year continues to be difficult for many and the need for help continues to rise. With our annual campaign, we strive to continue Electric Boat’s long history of generosity and to be the helping hand our community needs.
The 2021 campaign video, campaign brochure, iPledge form and ‘Day of Caring’ event information is available on the EBECSA website. There you will also find information on the campaign raffle prizes, available for employees who donate at least $0.50 a week to the EBECSA. As a ‘thank you’ to these individuals, entering the raffle gives you a chance to win a reserved parking space or a $100 American Express Gift Card. The dealine to enter is Nov. 5, 2021.
For those who missed it, attached is the campaign invitation from President Kevin Graney.
Thank you to all who have contributed to the 2021 campaign thus far. Your generosity, dedication and support goes a long way!
