Community Wellness
Promega defines community wellness in a broad sense
from strengthening the physical and mental needs of the
individual to addressing a multitude of social needs in
the community.
In support of the diverse interests of our employees and
the diverse needs of the community, each year Promega
matches employee giving in the annual United Way and
Community Shares campaigns that are offered on the
Madison campus. Similar programs are also offered at
Promega branches to encourage contributions
and volunteering:
• Promega UK operates an annual
program to support local charities that
has recently included ‘Naomi House’
for terminally ill children, ‘Guide Dogs for the Blind’ and
‘MacMillan Nurses’ supporting cancer patients at home.
• Promega corporate headquarters also supports an
in-house aluminum can recycling program to benefit
young adults with special needs in Wisconsin. AdamCan
Recycling is a start-up business that will enable these
young adults to be self-employed and active members
of society.
• In California at Promega Biosciences, an employee
led “Community Action Team” works to support local
organizations by involving employees in fundraising
UK
activities, matching donations and encouraging volunteering.
