Building on Pfizer’s 175-year legacy to be a force for good in the world, Pfizer has launched 175 Days of Good—a global call to action to inspire and celebrate colleague volunteerism and Pfizer’s collective commitment to do good where we work, live—and beyond.

From June 13 to International Volunteer Day on December 5, Pfizer colleagues around the world are hosting and joining volunteer events as individuals, sites, and teams.

To support this commitment and enhance colleagues’ impact, through support from The Pfizer Foundation*, colleagues can receive various incentives and awards, such as team volunteer grants, which can then be donated to eligible charitable organizations.

Kicking off 175 Days of Good, over 100 Pfizer colleagues volunteered alongside Cheeriodicals, an organization dedicated to delivering custom gift boxes to local medical patients. Colleagues packed “Cheer Kits” to help benefit patients at the Veteran Affairs Medical Center in New York City.

“Participating in events like today makes us feel really great,” said Dave Denton, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, Pfizer, and executive sponsor of Pfizer’s Veteran Colleague Resource Group, who participated in the event. “175 Days of Good will allows us to demonstrate our purpose of fulfilling unmet needs, creating positive impact in society and most importantly, bringing breakthroughs that change patients’ lives.”

175 Days of Good is just one part of Pfizer’s larger global impact efforts. Pfizer colleagues are committed to creating lasting impact in their communities throughout the year. Learn more about Pfizer’s community engagement initiative Give Forward.
