Providing opportunities for UPMC Insurance Services Division employees to engage in causes they care about is an important part of UPMC Health Plan’s charitable giving and community engagement efforts. Here are some of the campaigns that our employees rally around every year.
Scouting for Food and Chow Wagon
The annual Scouting for Food campaign benefits local community food banks, such as the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, Second Harvest of NWPA, Food for Families, and many more. Using networks of food pantries, shelters, and Meals on Wheels, the program provides food to those in need throughout the region. The Animal Friends' Chow Wagon provides food to the hungry pets of families in need.
United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania
Through our United Way campaign, employees are encouraged to designate their donation to an organization of importance to them. UPMC Insurance Services Division employees serve as “Champions” who plan special activities, raffles, and events to engage their colleagues and encourage donations to help thousands of people in our local communities. Their contributions help financially struggling families, provide job training for people with disabilities, help thousands of seniors live safely in their homes, and so much more.
March of Dimes’ March for Babies
Each year, more than 4,500 people band together at the Pittsburgh March for Babies to fight for the health of all moms and babies. UPMC and UPMC Health Plan have been presenting sponsors of this event for more than 15 years. UPMC Insurance Services Division employees proudly raise funds to find solutions and advocate for policies that prioritize mothers' and babies' health.
NAMIWalks Keystone PA
Since its debut in 2007, UPMC Health Plan and Community Care Behavioral Health Organization (CCBH) have been premier sponsors of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) annual NAMIWalk. Employees from UPMC Health Plan and CCBH form a UPMC Insurance Services Division “Super Team” that benefits NAMI and their mission to raise awareness for mental health.
