Alliant’s World Food Derby, the annual initiative in our support of World Food Day, is already under way and unites employees across the nation for a common cause: combatting world hunger.

Each year, employees compete in teams to determine who can raise the most money, donate the most food and essential items, and participate in the most community-focused events to help end world hunger. This year is off to an incredible start, with teams already making a positive impact with numerous organizations focused on helping those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and those in need.

The event culminates in October in support of World Food Day, a global day of action dedicated to eradicating worldwide hunger in our lifetime, and an event that Alliant has long championed. Alliant’s World Food Derby uses teamwork, competition, and service to a help make a lasting impact in our local communities and around the globe. #Zero Hunger

 

Alliant employees from across the nation are joining forces to fight cancer through our #AlliantStandsUp initiative.By coming together, truly believe we can make a significant contribution to this important cause in the spirit of teamwork, competition, fundraising, and outreach.

Central to this effort is our annual “Brackets for a Cause” competition, where employees purchase and complete brackets for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and the top three finishers select a cancer charity of their choice to receive the funds. In 2020, despite the tournament being cancelled, Alliant employees still pulled together to raise more than $14,000 to support cancer-related charities. The funds were the result of a companywide drawing in lieu of the bracket competition, as well as individual donations.

#AlliantStandsUp will continue to serve as a cornerstone of Alliant’s philanthropy efforts, and we are dedicated to supporting cancer charities nationwide through activities that are both fun and impactful.
