Legal & General America's Charitable Giving Campaign kicked off October 23rd and was followed by two weeks of fundraising events as well as donation collection from local businesses.

​LGA employees, with help from the community and their vendors, raised approximately $486,000, exceeding the $380,000 goal. Employees were able to pledge to the charity of their choice, while in-house fundraising events benefited the featured charities.
​
Legal & General America matched the amount raised, so in total $972,000 was donated to hundreds of different charities.
