United Way Honors O&R for Top-Donor Fundraising Campaign

O&R achieved this year’s United Way campaign results by combining a dynamic fund-raising drive partnership between the company and its bargaining unit, IBEW Local 503, with a dollar-for-dollar, shareholder match to raise $128,123.60.

The O&R-IBEW Local 503 fund-raising drive raised $64,061.80 from among O&R’s current employees and its retirees. The Company matched that sum dollar-for-dollar with another $64,061.80 from the shareholder funds of Consolidated Edison, Inc., O&R’s parent company.

Since 1993, O&R and Local 503 have donated over $4 million in employee and retiree contributions and shareholder matches to the United Way.

O&R employs approximately 1,200 people, almost all of whom also live in the O&R service area.

Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R), a wholly owned subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc., one of the nation’s largest investor-owned energy companies, is a regulated utility.
