GIVE TIME TOGETHER

Sabre reports that a record number of its global employees recently completed the annual Give Time Together community volunteer campaign and also doubled the hours of community service from the previous year’s totals. A record 51% of Sabre’s 10,000 global employees participated in one or more volunteer events to benefit the communities in which they work and live. The 5,300 Sabre employees who served their communities this year was an increase compared to the 3,500 who participated in 2012. Employees participated in more than 450 different events in 31 countries. The number of hours reported also leapt from 23,736 in 2012 to more than 35,000 so far this year — a 50% increase. 2013 Give Time Together chairman John Hanson, Sabre vice-president of corporate systems, said: “Sabre employees individually contributed to a total of more than 35,000 hours. As a result, we built a house that will stand for years, packed meals that will feed 850 hungry children for the next year, helped people obtain skills to improve their lives, renovated schools and much more. These are the things that will have a lasting impact and go far beyond what any of us could have done on our own. What we were able to accomplish together this year was amazing, and I’m thankful to be a part of a company that so genuinely rallies around this opportunity to give back each year.”
