Bringing the love of the game to every part of greater Philadelphia.

By bringing activities, equipment, and passion for the game of soccer to Philadelphia and the surrounding communities, Subaru and the Union are partnering to provide opportunities for everyone to experience the greatness of soccer.

GEAR FOR GOOD

Every kid deserves the chance to fall in love with the game of soccer. But 1 in 2 families involved in youth sports say they’ve struggled to afford it, according to the Aspen Institute. We believe the cost of gear shouldn’t cost kids the chance to play. That’s why Subaru, its Philadelphia-area retailers, and the Philadelphia Union are getting soccer gear to kids who need it most through Gear for Good.

When you buy a product, what do you care most about? Maybe it’s how it feels in your hands, how long it lasts, or how it looks. But what if you bought products from a company that considers how materials affect the environment? What if choosing better didn’t mean sacrificing quality, style, or function? That’s exactly the kind of thoughtful design Logitech works toward – products that work seamlessly for your life. 

We invite you behind the scenes with our 6-episode “Design for Sustainability” series on Instagram where you’ll get a firsthand look at how innovation and design come together to shape products you love. Meet the thinkers, tinkerers, and innovators reimagining what’s possible to design smarter.

• Work passion: Forging connections between people and technology
• Volunteer passion: Keeping her local beach clean and safe
• Taking intentional walks along the beach

Before logging in to work, I walk a mile-and-a-half-stretch of Fort Myers Beach picking up debris. It gives me the opportunity to exercise, act as a beach ambassador, and make a difference. After Hurricane Ian devastated our island in 2022, each subsequent storm (and even high tide) has continued to bring in an assortment of items back onto the beach—from small items like DVDs and shoes to larger items like mattresses and pool furniture.

Helping people and sea creatures enjoy the beach

Our beach is our backyard, and we need to keep it clean and safe to be a viable place to live and visit—for humans and all creatures. A number of endangered shore birds and sea turtles nest on our beach each year. A lot of the debris can be very hazardous to them if they ingest it, get tangled in it, or run into it.

Doubling my impact

People on the island find it hard to believe Principal^® and Principal^® Foundation offer such generous matching/volunteer reward programs. I max out my volunteer rewards dollars every year and contribute those funds to nonprofits on Fort Myers Beach, helping extend relief these organizations provide to those devastated by the hurricane, as well as helping these organizations get back on their own two feet.

(“Principal^® Foundation^“) is a duly recognized 501(c)(3) entity focused on providing philanthropic support to programs that build financial security in the communities where Principal Financial Group, Inc.

As a long-standing partner of The Children’s Inn at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Leidos proudly served as a platinum sponsor of this year’s annual gala, an inspiring evening dedicated to advancing care, comfort, and discovery for children and families navigating complex medical journeys. The event brought together a community committed to advancing The Inn’s mission and ensuring families have the support they need during some of life’s most difficult moments.

For over three decades, The Children’s Inn has provided a free, residential “place like home” for families with children, teens, and young adults participating in cutting-edge research studies at NIH Clinical Center. While the NIH offers hope for a cure through world-class care, The Inn meets families where they are, addressing their everyday needs through housing, meals, and a caring community – all at no cost. This compassionate model eases the financial burden of illness, allowing families to focus fully on what matters most: their child’s health and recovery.

Leidos’ partnership with The Inn spans over 20 years, growing from grassroots volunteerism into a robust corporate executive sponsorship. In 2024, Leidos deepened this commitment with a $2.5 million donation to The Inn’s Building Extraordinary Capital Campaign. This critical investment supports a 25% increase in the Inn’s capacity, expanding access to care for up to 3,000 patients annually.

The gala served as a powerful reminder of what’s possible when compassion, commitment, and community come together. With the help of Leidos and fellow partners, the event raised more than $1.83 million to help sustain and grow The Inn’s vital programs.

Leidos was represented by senior leaders, including Tom Bell, CEO; Liz Porter, president of the Health and Civil Sector; and Milad Bahrami, senior vice president of Health Solutions and board member for The Children’s Inn. The featured video below highlighted Leidos leaders and the many employees who have supported The Inn through hands-on volunteerism, from serving family dinners to leading donation drives and bringing joy through holiday decorating. These efforts demonstrate a strong culture of service and a commitment to supporting families facing serious illness, both clinically and emotionally.

“This work goes beyond any one partnership,” Porter said. “It’s about showing up with heart, being part of a community, and doing what we can to lift each other up. That’s why we continue to stand alongside The Inn, not just with funding, but with time, care, and a deep sense of respect for the families.”

As The Children’s Inn continues to grow its impact, the support of committed partners remains essential. For Leidos, this partnership is a direct reflection of who we are as a company. As an innovation company rapidly addressing the world’s most vexing challenges in national security and health, we are honored to stand alongside The Inn, helping make it possible for every family seeking treatment at NIH to be met with world-class care–and with comfort, dignity, and a place to call home. A place free of financial burden and full of hope.

Throughout the month of April, Nielsen employees celebrated Global Volunteer Month with volunteering and environmental activities, culminating with our twelfth annual Earth Day call-to-action on April 24th, 2025.

For the second year in a row, Global Volunteer Month provided an ongoing opportunity for Nielsen to achieve together through community engagement. All employees have 24 hours of annual volunteer time to participate in volunteering events with nonprofit and non-governmental organizations throughout the year, and many Nielsen employees took advantage of this benefit in April.

790 employees across 26 countries led and participated in optional volunteer and educational events throughout April. Our people volunteered at the Mumbai and Bangalore offices to make seedballs for planting in local forests, participated in river and beach cleanups in Warsaw and the Tampa Bay area, learned to make recycled watering pots in Mexico City, virtually gathered from around the world to learn about zero waste cooking and to reduce our digital trash footprints, and much more. 

In partnership with the Corporate Citizenship team, our Green Business Resource Group (BRG) organized events around the world throughout the month of April, totalling more than 2,600 volunteer and engagement hours across 140 events and individual activities.

During two information sessions for global employees, the Corporate Citizenship team also invited people managers and BRG leaders from Australia, Brazil, India and Mexico to share about the benefits of volunteering for team building and engagement. One of the leaders shared:

“Volunteering unites us around a common goal and powers team-building for our people,” shared Ana Lucía Álvarez Parra, Team Lead for Rich Media LatAm and Cares BRG Leader in Mexico. “It also offers our people opportunities to take on leadership roles. And it’s a fun and rewarding way to break up our regular work routines while creating a shared sense of pride and connection to our community and the Nielsen organization.”

Volunteering opportunities are a powerful way to drive team-building and engagement across the globe while connecting with our local communities and contributing to a more sustainable future for all people. We look forward to continuing the momentum with volunteering events throughout the year, especially in the lead-up to Nielsen’s thirteenth annual global day of service in October 2025.
