Last year Air Charter Service’s charity committees around the world helped raise more than $200,000 for charitable causes through an array of challenges, volunteering, raffles and more – an amount matching their record, set in 2024.
Katie Ivie, Group HR Director, who leads the Charity Committee, commented: “The worldwide team has really stepped up again following our record amount last year, with a range of physical challenges, including marathons, a 550 mile bike ride, summitting Kilimanjaro, and donations made by staff towards the relief effort following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica last October.
“The raffles held at our Christmas parties raised a record amount for charities ($43,000) and combined with other fundraising initiatives, including quiz nights and several bake sales (the most recent being Valentine-themed) helped to raise a total of over $200,000. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one that put in the effort and their hands in their pockets to help to reach this fantastic total.
“On top of the money-raising activities, ACS employees have been giving back to the community in other ways – including staff in our New York office helping out in a Long Island soup kitchen, volunteers from our London office wrapping Christmas presents for local children’s charity Momentum, and our Brisbane team who contributed to their local Salvation Army, creating food hampers of essentials to give some extra support to families over the holiday period.”
