Trex Company celebrated another successful year with longstanding community partners, the United Way of the Northern Shenandoah Valley, last evening at their 74th annual meeting. Trex’s 2019 employee-led campaign marked 11 years as the most successful effort of its kind, and were were able to donate more than $211,000 in support of programs that help area residents in need. Together with the local United Way, Trex, other area businesses and individuals were able to raise more than $1 million in 2019 to improve the health, education and financial stability in our community. Trex’s Jay Rudolph, vice president of human resources, also served as 2019 campaign chair.
Members of Trex Company’s Strategic Sourcing and Procurement team had the opportunity recently to visit the fifth grade class at local Greenwood Mill Elementary School to serve as “sharks” for a class activity modeled after ABC’s “Shark Tank” TV show where the students pitched business ideas for 1900s Virginia.
Trex employees talk about why they help support the company’s annual campaign for the United Way of the Northern Shenandoah Valley. Helping the community has been instilled in me since I was a kid. I like the idea that you can have your funds distributed to a specific organization that you’re close to. For me, it’s an organization that’s been part of my life for a long time. It’s just something that’s definitely very near and dear to me. -- Tammy Fitzwater, Accounting
Trex employees talk about why they help support the company’s annual campaign for the United Way of the Northern Shenandoah Valley. I started helping with Trex’s United Way campaign to learn more about the organization. But now, I really appreciate the opportunity to help local establishments and the community. It’s great to be involved with the United Way. – Christine Pedersen, Strategic Sourcing and Procurement
Trex employees talk about why they help support the company’s annual campaign for the United Way of the Northern Shenandoah Valley. I’ve been participating with United Way since Trex started it. I felt like it was the right thing to do. I was raised with those values – to try to help other people – and I love helping people. I try to do whatever I can to help. We take so many things for granted, but you never know when, in a moment, all your conveniences can be taken away from you. I was born and raised in this community, so I’ve seen, first hand, some of the people that have been helped and changes that have happened. -- Sarah Price, R&D
