Because of those contributions and others, Garver was honored with the 2020 National Philanthropy Day award for Outstanding Corporation by the Arkansas chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
In recognition of the award, GarverGives initiative leaders Jordan Culver, an Aviation Program Manager, and Sarah Palmiero, Garver’s Wellness Team Manager, were featured in a magazine dedicated to philanthropy and civic leadership. Palmiero expressed her gratitude for the giving opportunities GarverGives has cultivated.
“I’m grateful for the multitude of opportunities that GarverGives has opened up to give back to Central Arkansas — anything from school drive donations to spending a weekend connecting with children in the community,” she said. “Getting to uplift the communities that I love so deeply is what it’s all about for me.”
One of Garver’s community partners, the Centers For Youth and Families, nominated Garver for the award.
