DIRECTV is turning 29 on June 17, 2023, and is celebrating the occasion with volunteer events, employee engagement activities and more.
Honoring the company’s cultural values of “We Care, We Challenge and We Deliver,” DIRECTV is making a difference by volunteering in the communities where employees and customers call home. In the week leading up to DIRECTV Day, coordinated volunteer activities will take place across the country alongside internal company events meant to engage employees and encourage them to give back.
How DIRECTV is Celebrating
Channeling the “We Care” value, DIRECTV is coordinating dozens of volunteer opportunities all over the country including in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Seattle, and San Juan, Puerto Rico ahead of DIRECTV Day. In the week leading up to June 17, nearly 500 employees will be joining forces to cook meals and organize activities for families at local RMHC Chapters across the U.S. Employees are encouraged to lend a hand at one of these events, or with additional volunteer occasions offered throughout the year, embodying the “We Challenge” aspect.
Most of the volunteer opportunities are with strategic charity partner, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), building on last year’s celebration with RMHC and the year-round employee volunteer and giving opportunities alongside once-in-a-lifetime experiences like the Sundance film screening or providing surprise tickets to the Big Game in February.
The ever-growing list of DIRECTV Day volunteer events is below – and while employees are the backbone of this initiative, DIRECTV challenges all interested individuals to give their time to this worthwhile organizations.
