More than 30 Independence Blue Cross (IBX) Blue Crew volunteers helped kick off the annual Blue Crew Gives campaign by joining the Philadelphia Eagles in observance of the federally designated September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance. In all, almost 2,000 volunteers from more than 25 companies across the region packed 700,000 meal kits. The kits will be donated to Philabundance, which works to increase access to nutritious meals for those in need. The anniversary of 9/11 has become the nation’s largest day of service.
Blue Crew Gives is the IBX annual associate giving campaign. Associates come together to positively impact the communities where they live and work by making charitable donations and volunteering. This September, more than 265 IBX associates will donate more 1,500 hours to nonprofit organizations throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania, primarily with organizations that promote good health and well-being and green spaces.
