ExxonMobil announced today it will contribute $11 million in cash
to the United Way in the Houston and Baytown areas following
completion of its 2006 employee and retiree campaign. The funds
will assist those benefiting from services provided by the
nonprofit and its affiliated agencies. Of that amount, $9.7 million
will address needs of the United Way of the Texas Gulf Coast, and
$1.3 million will benefit the United Way of Baytown. The company
contributed an additional $4.2 million through ExxonMobil Volunteer
Involvement Program grants earned by employee and retiree
volunteers at various United Way affiliated agencies, gifts-in-kind
donations, and corporate loaned executives and administrative
personnel to assist with the heavy work load at already burdened
social service agencies. �Our employees� and retirees� commitment
to helping alleviate need continues to be an inspiration. Almost
every week you can find someone volunteering somewhere in the
community,� said Thomas R. Walters, president, ExxonMobil Global
Services Company. �They realize the cumulative effect of giving
back allows us to be a part of something larger than ourselves.
Volunteerism is clearly a priority at ExxonMobil and we applaud our
employees and retirees who pursue it with such enthusiasm,� he
concluded. To mark the contribution, representatives from
ExxonMobil�s Houston-based companies and the Baytown manufacturing
complex joined together on December 5 to host a birthday party for
senior citizens at the NCI Ripley House Community Center. The event
was followed by a check presentation to United Way representatives.
�ExxonMobil's unprecedented support of the United Way and our
community is remarkable. It's demonstrated not just through the
company's generous financial support, but through thousands of its
employees' and retirees' time, money and talents that year round
help shape the community's future,� said United Way of the Texas
Gulf Coast President Anna M. Babin. �They set an outstanding
example for others to follow and we sincerely thank everyone at
ExxonMobil for helping us do something about it, the United Way.�
Pat Hewlett of ExxonMobil Global Services Company served as the
2006 United Way Central Campaign Manager. �We consider those we
help through the United Way an extension of the ExxonMobil family,"
said Hewlett. �Taking care of each other in our collective
community is a priority for our company and an important part of
the ExxonMobil tradition."
