Company partnering with Stamford Downtown to
bring Wyclef Jean to the Alive at Five concert series
Today, as part of its continued community support, Philip Morris
International (PMI) announced a charity concert in Stamford, Conn.,
to benefit leading workforce development nonprofit Career
Resources, Inc (CRI). Featuring three-time Grammy Award winner,
producer, actor, and philanthropist Wyclef Jean, the concert will
support CRI’s work helping veterans advance their civilian careers
via job training and workforce transition services. Wyclef is a
long-time collaborator of PMI, having performed on behalf of the
company at the Cannes Festival of Ideas, on the sidelines of the
World Economic Forum in Davos and United Nations General Assembly,
and in several markets worldwide, including Milan, Italy. The
concert will take place on Thursday, Aug. 8, 2024, as part of
Downtown’s Alive At Five summer concert series. In addition to a
donation being made from PMI to support CRI, the company is also
donating the artist fees for Wyclef’s performance. In a first for
the concert series, a text-to-donate campaign will be displayed on
the stage throughout the concert, enabling audience members to
donate directly to CRI.
“Partnering with communities on meaningful solutions is a core
part of who we are as a company,” said Marian Salzman, Senior Vice
President & Chief Corporate Citizenship Officer, PMI.
“Contributing to a vibrant and thriving downtown is critical to
ensuring Stamford is a place where we can grow, prosper, and
attract the best talent from around the world. By working together
with community-based groups, we aim to accelerate progress on vital
issues across Connecticut and the United States.”
“Career Resources, Inc. is pleased to partner with PMI to help
justice impacted individuals gain the skills necessary to secure
employment and have an opportunity at the American Dream,” said
Scott K. Wilderman, President & CEO, Career Resources, Inc. “We
are excited about the impact we will have together.”
Since moving its corporate headquarters to Stamford in 2022, PMI
has established itself as a vital proponent of equity, job
creation, and economic development. In addition to corporate
giving, PMI employees are involved in the community through
volunteerism, including via Person to Person, a nonprofit that
provides essential services to residents of lower Fairfield County.
PMI leaders are also giving back through membership on the boards
of local nonprofits. For instance, Stacey Kennedy, President,
Americas Region & CEO of PMI’s U.S. business, serves on the
board of AdvanceCT, while Troy Modlin, Vice President, State
Government Affairs Officer U.S., sits on the board of the Stamford
Partnership.
“When we chose Stamford as our home, we fully committed to being
a partner in the community,” said Stacey Kennedy, President,
Americas Region & CEO of PMI’s U.S. business. “By participating
in a range of community organizations, we are working to ensure
that our presence has a positive impact in Stamford, and across
Connecticut.”
Caroline Simmons, Mayor of Stamford, reinforced PMI’s role in
Stamford sharing, “PMI is a key part of Stamford’s vibrant and
innovative business community. By supporting initiatives like the
Stamford Parks Community Partnership, they are ensuring that
investment in our city and its park system benefits all of its
residents.”
Other recent corporate initiatives include committing $5 million
to the Women’s Business Development Council (WBDC), a
groundbreaking organization that removes barriers that, for too
long, have prevented women’s full participation in Connecticut’s
entrepreneurial ecosystem. In addition, PMI is finalizing a
partnership to help underwrite programming at Foundation House, a
creative, philanthropic organization in Greenwich that develops
initiatives to improve outcomes in mental health, environmental
issues and social justice.
“PMI has come into the Stamford community and made an immediate
and lasting positive impact,” said David Kooris, President,
Stamford Downtown. “We are grateful to have forged such a
productive partnership with the company and are excited to bring
the incomparable Wyclef Jean to the stage while also benefitting
military veterans who have given so much to our nation and
communities.”
PMI is a member or sponsor of several Connecticut-based
organizations, including AdvanceCT, Connecticut Business and
Industry Association (CBIA), Connecticut Energy Marketers
Association (CEMA), Connecticut Retail Merchants Association
(CRMA), Connecticut Retail Network (CRA), Motor Transport
Association of Connecticut (MTAC), Stamford Chamber of Commerce,
Stamford Parks Community Partnership, and the Stamford
