The Suncor Energy Foundation (SEF) embodies our purpose of caring for each other and the Earth by connecting business and community strengths to make a positive difference in society.
This year, SEF is celebrating 25 years of community building. Anniversaries are cause for celebration, as well as opportunities to delve into what’s working in a relationship and what could be improved. This year, we are reflecting on the progress we’ve made with Suncor and community, and looking ahead to what we might achieve together – and we have a few ways for employees and retirees to get involved.
Here are three ways for employees and retirees to join in:
- To support community and celebrate the anniversary, we’re adding $25 to all SunCares accounts for employees and retirees to donate to a community organization they choose .
- Help SEF distribute $250,000 between three SEF and two Syncrude partners. The partner with the most votes will get a larger share of the $250,000 donation. Those who vote receive an additional $25 to donate to a community organization they choose.
- Enter a draw for an opportunity to attend an anniversary dinner.
