For the last four years Center member CA, Inc. has sponsored CA Together in Action (CTA), a month-long program to support non-profit organizations around the world. Launched in 2006 as a two-week event, the program expanded to a month to allow as many employees as possible to participate.

Principal owner of the Red Sox John Henry recently received the Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship. The Red Sox and Major League Baseball are long-standing members of the Center and are real role models for how community involvement can be fostered in a highly decentralized organization.
In announcing the award, the Wilson Center said: “In addition to bringing home championships, the Red Sox organization has made significant contributions to the community, particularly through the Red Sox Foundation. Established in 2002, the Red Sox Foundation has become the largest charitable organization in MLB and the largest sports charity in New England. It has also enhanced the Red Sox’s 56-year partnership with the Jimmy Fund, promoting the advancement of educational and societal well-being in Boston and throughout New England.
“After years of privately supporting many charitable organizations, in 2004 Henry established the John W. Henry Family Foundation to promote child development, support local educational initiatives, and to fund clinical programs and research in stem cells and mind/body. Since its inception, the John W. Henry Family Foundation has supported numerous charitable organizations in New England and in Florida, the most notable of which is the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind/Body Medicine.”
What other sports organizations come to mind when you think of community involvement?
