The 2021 Vanguard Gives Back Campaign took place from November 15 through November 19. This year’s theme, Every ______ counts, emphasized the many causes and organizations that do important work in our communities around the world.

The annual campaign provides our crew with an opportunity to support Vanguard Strong Start for Kids or other community agencies and causes that are close to their hearts. This year’s activities included some friendly competition and opportunities to Learn, Act, and Give.

Learn

During the campaign, crew joined discussions featuring leaders from several of our Crew Resource Groups, where they heard about their connections to Strong Start agencies and learned how those agencies are addressing the childcare crisis. They also learned how the work of Strong Start for Kids is furthering Vanguard’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Act

There are many ways in which crew acted. For example, they participated in our Strong Start for Kids 5K. Whether as an individual or by forming a team including family and friends, crew registered to run, walk, or move for kids and logged their miles. Further, Vanguard offered unique service projects for crew interested that benefitted Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania (CHOP) and Promising Pages in Pennsylvania, Arizona and North Carolina. Lastly, crew had an opportunity to sign up for a variety of other virtual Days of Service volunteer activities with fellow colleagues.

Give

Whether it’s pledging time or money, we are proud to see our crew make meaningful contributions in the community that have a lasting impact.
