This year, Entergy employees raised $868,167 for The Power to Care, a vital program that provides emergency bill assistance to our most vulnerable neighbors, including older adults and individuals with disabilities.
Throughout our service area, Entergy employees came together to organize a series of fundraisers, including the Boston Marathon, golf tournaments, softball games, a fishing tournament, and pickleball competitions. These events not only fostered camaraderie among team members but also united everyone in a shared mission: to serve our customers and uplift our communities.
“We are immensely grateful to our dedicated employees who poured their time and energy into organizing these events to support our vulnerable customers,” said Patty Riddlebarger, Entergy’s vice president of corporate social responsibility. “This year marks the highest amount we have raised from special events in nearly 20 years, and we are truly humbled by the generosity of our employees.”
