Goosen accompanied CA's Anne Marie Agnelli, vice president, communications and
community affairs, to present the $2,500 donation to 15 EAC middle and high
school aged children and EAC's president and CEO, Lance W. Elder. The children
and CA employees had the opportunity to meet Goosen and take photographs with
him before he headed off to the U.S. Open 2009 that is being held this week at
the famous Black Course at Bethpage State Park.
Established in 1969, EAC is one of the largest organizations on Long Island
that addresses human needs with programs that protect children, promote
healthy families and communities, help seniors and empower individuals to take
control of their lives. Since 2002, CA has supported EAC programs and services
by providing more than $110,000 in contributions. In April, EAC recognized CA
as a "Corporate Champion" at their annual luncheon for all the support CA has
provided, including over $47,000 in funding to create the 'CA Together Tech
Room for Kids' which provides supervised visitation programs in Nassau and
Suffolk counties with new child-friendly computer kiosks. CA is also involved
in EAC's Chance to Advance program where employees serve as one-on-one mentors
and also take EAC children on group field trips such as ice skating at The
Rinx, BOOMERS, Splish Splash water park, the Statue of Liberty and the Long
Island Children's Museum.
For more than 30 years, CA has supported nonprofit organizations that
strengthen, enrich and improve communities around the world. CA Together, CA's
global community relations program, is driven by a core philanthropic focus on
improving educational opportunities for underserved children and young people.
CA also supports a limited number of organizations and programs in the areas
of health and human services, arts and culture, and the environment. Through
strategic partnerships with a limited number of nonprofit organizations, CA
provides significant resources to achieve long-term and meaningful results.
"CA is pleased to continue our support of EAC by providing this contribution,"
said Agnelli. "It is exciting to have CA-sponsored golfer Retief Goosen join
us in supporting one of CA's most valued community partners. With CA's
headquarters based in Long Island, it's important to give back to the
communities and organizations that are considered our neighbors."
"This is really a remarkable event for EAC," said Lance W. Elder, president
and CEO, EAC. "Not only is CA continuing their generosity to EAC through this
contribution, but they are also including our children in an opportunity they
might not otherwise get to experience. We are truly proud of our relationship
with CA and we wish Retief the best of luck at the U.S. Open."
