Partner Spotlight: Capital Blue Cross

For more than 80 years, Capital Blue Cross has served Central Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley by offering health insurance products, services and technology solutions that provide peace of mind to consumers and promote health and wellness for their members. United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley (UWGLV) is honored to partner with Capital Blue Cross to create lasting change throughout the community. 

 

Capital Blue Cross supports UWGLV in many ways. In addition to being a leader in employee giving as a top 40 United Way campaign and premiere event sponsor, Capital Blue Cross makes a significant impact as a Community School partner for Roosevelt Elementary School in the Allentown School District. With Capital Blue Cross support, more than 700 students have access to programs and services that meet their basic needs and help them succeed in school and in life. 

 

“For over 100 years, UWGLV has adapted to the times and conditions, expanding the realm of philanthropy with results-based accountability. Our United Way has taken a business approach to serving the community, and they inspect what they expect. That’s why Capital Blue Cross and our employees support United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley,” said Anne Baum, Lehigh Valley Market President and Vice President, Producer & Labor Relations, Capital Blue Cross.  

 

“We are confident that our corporate and personal contributions are invested wisely, driving real change and positive results in our community. The United Way’s vision for education, senior care and food access, mirrors the values of Capital BlueCross, and we are proud to be a long-time partner,” Baum added. 

 

Baum is one of many Capital Blue Cross team members who give generously of their time and talent in support of United Way. In addition to regularly volunteering during Day of Caring, employees also serve on numerous United Way boards, cabinets and committees and are actively engaged in United Way affinity groups including Tocqueville Society, Leadership Circle, Legacy Circle and Women United. In fact, they are a long-time and leading support of TeenWorksTM, a unique collaboration among local teens, labor unions and United Way. 

 

“Capital Blue Cross’s philanthropic leadership strengthens our ability to invest in the future of our community,” said David Lewis, President, United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley. “We thank Capital Blue Cross and its employees for their dedication in serving the community.”
