Charity truly begins at home for CVS. From Massachusetts and New York to newer CVS communities in Florida and Texas, our colleagues give their time to a broad range of worthwhile causes. CVS colleagues reach out to the underprivileged, teach children how to read, and tend to the sick and elderly. The CVS/pharmacy Charitable Trust continued to support their efforts in 2004 by providing a record $1.7 million in grants to 76 organizations dedicated to healthcare, education, and community engagement. Recipients included the University of Miami Sickle Cell Center, the National Children's Cancer Society, the Down Syndrome Resource Center of New York, the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland, Goodwill Industries of Houston, and the Literacy Coalition of South Alabama.
Driven by the company's vision to help people live longer, healthier, happier lives, CVS contributed to a number of other worthy causes in 2004. We donated $1.5 million to the American Red Cross International Response Fund for tsunami victims and raised $2 million in the fight against Lou Gehrig's Disease (A.L.S.). Our in-store fundraising effort on behalf of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital collected $1.3 million to help kids facing cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. In support of America's Second Harvest Hunger Relief Charity, we donated $20 million worth of store products. The CVS Charity Golf Classic continues to be our largest single philanthropic event, distributing nearly $5 million to non-profit organizations since its inception in 1999. |
