2024年7月23日 - 10:01PM
CAI, a global services firm, announced today a new partnership with
United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley, to form the CAI United
Fund. The fund will invest in family and student engagement
initiatives to reduce absenteeism and improve academic outcomes
within the United Way Community Schools Network totaling over
19,000 students. The CAI United Fund directly aligns with two of
CAI’s corporate social responsibility pillars: accessible education
and helping families thrive.
United Way Community Schools Network offers a full-time
community coordinator in each school to lead the charge in
addressing basic needs, promoting family engagement and building
partnerships. These schools serve as a neighborhood hub, providing
resources and services including:
- Essential support with food,
clothing, toiletries and school supplies
- Connections to healthcare, housing
and other critical resources
- On-site physical, mental and
behavioral health services
- Academic engagement experiences
including field trips and after-school programs
- Workshops and activities to increase
parent engagement
"At CAI, we know the profound impact a quality education has on
a child’s life and how it transcends into the fabric of our
communities,” said Tom Salvaggio, president and CEO at CAI.
“Partnering with United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley represents
a shared vision of empowering students and families in both schools
and after-school programs. This collaboration is not just an
investment in education; it's a commitment to nurturing the
potential of every child and building a stronger, more resilient
community.”
“CAI is a global leader dedicated to making a positive impact on
the world. At United Way, we are truly honored to partner so
closely with CAI’s outstanding leadership team and staff to help
them achieve their corporate social responsibility goals,” said
Marci Lesko, chief executive officer of United Way of the Greater
Lehigh Valley. “Together with highly qualified partners, we will
produce measurable results that expand accessible education
opportunities and help more families thrive in the Greater Lehigh
Valley.”
Investments have been made for the 2024-2025 fiscal year to
United Way Community Schools, Valley Youth House, Boys & Girls
Club of Allentown, Boys & Girls Club of Easton, Da Vinci
Science Center, Mindful Child Initiative by the Pratyush Sinha
Foundation, ArtsQuest Banana Factory, River Crossing YMCA and James
Lawson Freedom School. CAI and United Way of the Greater Lehigh
Valley will work toward ensuring that students reach their highest
potential.
