The
prestigious
Spirit
of America® Award
is United
Way's highest
national
honor,
recognizing
a company's
outstanding
commitment
to improve
lives in
local communities.
By choosing
United
Way as
their partner
in caring,
companies
make a
powerful
and lasting
impact
in all
the communities
they serve.
The awards
offer National
Corporate
Leaders an
opportunity
to win
national
recognition
by competing
in two
separate
award categories:
the Spirit
of America® Award and
the Summit
Awards.
Spirit
of America® and
Summit
Award
recipients
are judged
by distinguished
corporate
volunteers
and local
United Ways. Winning these awards is only possible when a company has dedicated, truly exceptional employees who go above and beyond to help people right where they live.
