CARTERSVILLE, Ga. (March 14, 2007) – The Anheuser-Busch Cartersville brewery, along with support from the company’s charitable foundation, recently presented the United Way of Bartow County with $66,249. The funding supports 14 local agencies that provide essential human, health-related and child-focused services to more than 50,000 individuals each year.
The donation represents $15,499 from brewery employee pledges and fundraisers and $50,750 from the Anheuser-Busch Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Anheuser-Busch. The Anheuser-Busch Foundation provides support to local organizations in communities in which the company operates breweries and other major facilities.
“Anheuser-Busch has a long-standing tradition of giving back to the communities in which we do business, always seeking to improve the quality of life. It is important for us to be a good neighbor, and our employees play a key role in helping us accomplish this through their support,” said Michelle Kelly, Cartersville brewery environmental health, safety & security manager. “United Way performs a valuable service that benefits a wide variety of health, education and human services concerns in our communities.”
“The United Way of Bartow County could not begin to fund local agencies without the support of corporations such as Anheuser-Busch,” said Brenda Morehouse, president of United Way of Bartow County. “Anheuser-Busch and its employees have been and continue to be vital and active participants in helping the United Way build stronger communities.”
Cartersville brewery employees organized and participated in a variety of fundraisers throughout the year to make this contribution possible.
Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of the Cartersville brewery, and its charitable foundation, have pledged approximately $2.3 million to the Cartersville community throughout the past decade.
Based in St. Louis, Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. is a diversified international corporation with subsidiaries that include the leading American brewer, family entertainment parks and one of the largest U.S. manufacturers of aluminum beverage containers.
