Every year, #CrowleyCares gives back to the #CentralAmerican communities in a big way through our Make a Difference Day. Our teams are encouraged to volunteer or donate to create a positive impact around us. #CostaRica chose the Animal Sanctuary of Asis, which refuges more than 300 dogs and cats in vulnerable conditions. #CrowleyCares donated to cover some needed veterinary services. Still, most credit goes to our volunteers who donated their time, care and skills by painting, washing floors and beds, bathing and grooming stunning looks!
Our team proudly participated in #LNGBunkeringNA again this year to help lead the conversation on marine decarbonization and overcoming the conversion challenges facing US Shipping Operators. It's one more way we are working within our industry to Carry the World. Forward.
In partnership with the First Coast Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Crowley provided a $2,500 scholarship through our Mi Gente ERG as part of our community outreach and support of Hispanic talent development. The annual Achieving the Dream Scholarship is given in the Hispanic Heritage Gala & ATD Awards to talented Hispanic students in Florida based on merit and academic achievement.
For the fourth consecutive year, we are proud to support Wreaths Across America to honor veterans, active-duty service members and their families on the U.S. mainland and Puerto Rico. Through in-kind logistics services and donations totaling more than $40,000, we are honored to provide ground and ocean transport for thousands of wreaths to be carried from Maine to the national cemeteries in Puerto Rico, Jacksonville and Philadelphia. This year we have also teamed up with industry partners Caribbean Produce Exchange, Inc., Gallery Shipping and PSA Penn Terminals to honor more veterans with additional wreaths.

Making a difference and servicing our communities matters to us. Through Crowley's Mi Gente employee resource group, our Honduran team donated milk and cereal to feed the children of Amor y Vida.

Our volunteers also donated their time and skills to host a morning of entertainment for the children.
