At our shipyards, doing the right thing means more than just
going about your daily business. Our "People are Important"
philosophy carries over into the communities in which we live
and work. We have chosen to take an active role in our neighborhoods,
allocating resources, both monetary and human, to improve the
quality of life for under-privileged children and adults. We’ve
funded a new roof for a community medical
clinic and raised thousands of dollars to keep a neighborhood
swimming pool open in an area of "at-risk" children. Our shipyards have sponsored and supported Boys’ and Girls Clubs,
United Way, the Leukemia Society of America, cancer research,
AIDS research, juvenile diabetes research, literacy programs,
victims of violent crimes, the Multiple Sclerosis Society, the
YWCA, Home Start Programs, the National Conference for Community
and Justice in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King and many others.
We’ve also helped our men and women in the military by supporting
various USO projects, the Armed Services YMCA, Fleet Week, the
Navy Relief Society, Navy Surface Warfare Officers’ Wives Scholarship
Program, National Naval Officers Association Scholarship Fund
and the Navy League. Generous, kindhearted people from BAE Systems shipyards
also support beach cleanups, storm drain stenciling, holiday toy
drives, tree plantings, blood drives and many other community
activities. Community service is a prerequisite for being good
corporate citizens. At BAE Systems Ship Repair, we also consider it a privilege to
be able to give back to the people who need us the most!
