Turning Everyday Moments into Extraordinary Impact

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Thousands of people across Florida and Georgia came together to celebrate community and giving during VyStar’s award-winning Good is everywhere initiative. The month-long initiative honored VyStar’s members and partners while amplifying its purpose to Do Good in the communities it calls home.


VyStar employees volunteer at a Boys and Girls Club in Deltona during 2025 Good is everywhere celebration.

As part of the celebration, VyStar thanked members for their loyalty by offering free experiences at local attractions including museums, science centers, sporting and music events. It also highlighted VyStar’s deep commitment to community by empowering employees to volunteer, serve and support local nonprofits across its footprint.

The celebration combined member appreciation with community transformation. VyStar employees from every area of the organization collaborated with nonprofit partners to address real community needs. Notable partnerships included home renovations for residents with intellectual and developmental differences at Pine Castle in Jacksonville, a pop-up food pantry for students at Kennesaw State University in Atlanta, and interactive STEM stations for youth at the Walt Disney World Clubhouse Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida in Orlando.

Mayors from Jacksonville, Orlando, Tallahassee, Gainesville (FL), Orange County, Stockbridge, and Chatham County united to officially proclaim a “Good is everywhere Day,” celebrating VyStar’s positive impact across the Southeast.

“Our employees don’t just volunteer, they uplift the very neighborhoods our members call home,” said Patricia McElroy, SVP/President of VyStar Foundation. “Through our ‘Good is everywhere‘ celebration, we empower every team member to take action that strengthens our communities. Because when we come together to serve the communities where our members reside, we create lasting change where it matters most.”
