Eaton Employees Top United Way Giving

 

[March 06, 2021] 

Eaton Employees have always been generous in supporting the United Way of Logan County, and have led the way for many years when it comes to total giving. The 2020 campaign was no exception.

Employees at the local factory, pledged over $50,000 to the United Way and their local partners during their most recent campaign, through payroll deduction and other donations. The Eaton Charitable Fund matches employee donations $.50 for every dollar donated.

In 2021, the United Way of Logan County will recognize its 60th anniversary and has pledged to partner with 13 different local programs that benefit local seniors, youth, and families. The mission of the United Way of Logan County is to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community to advance the common good.
 

Eaton Corporation has supported United Way all over the world for over 100 years. The company’s founder, Joseph O. Eaton, led the formation of The Cleveland Federation for Charity and Philanthropy, which helped create Cleveland's first United Way, which is where the company was headquartered.

Eaton’s mission is to improve the quality of life and the environment through the use of power management technologies and services. They provide sustainable solutions that help our customers effectively manage electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical power – more safely, more efficiently, and more reliably. Eaton’s 2020 revenues were $17.9 billion, and they sell products to customers in more than countries. They have approximately 92,000 employees.

Employees who were instrumental in raising the donations joined Patti Becker of the UWLC to celebrate.

As stated on the company’s website, regarding community support, Eaton strives to help the communities in which they operate become vibrant places to live and work. They serve many communities around the world, and their employees' skills and ideas are a reflection of them. They believe that when they support local communities, they support employees, customers and other stakeholders. The employees at the Lincoln Manufacturing Plant are certainly a reflection of that philosophy.
