Sabre Deemed a Top Charitable Contributor
Sabre’s commitment to charity was recognized April 30 at the Philadelphia Business Journal’s 2008 Corporate Philanthropy Summit.
 With more than 400 of the region’s top community and business leaders in attendance, the Summit was an opportunity to celebrate the top corporate stewards in the Greater Philadelphia area.
Sabre’s title as one such leader was confirmed when the company was ranked 46th on the Philadelphia Business Journal’s Corporate Charitable Contributors list (ranked determined by 2006 local cash contributions).
“Sabre has been recognized for many things. This is something that really stands out for me. It is a testament to the many employees we have who believe in giving back to the community and who share their time and gifts in support of worthy causes,” contends Sabre President, Phil Jaurigue.
Phil isn’t the only Sabre employee that feels this way. Sr. Executive Director of Marketing and Communications, Margot Margle, attested to Sabre’s longstanding tradition of giving back to the community during a recent interview with the Philadelphia Business Journal.
“I’ve been with the company for a long time and I know it well. As we’ve grown, we’ve encouraged giving back to the community, in particular, in those areas where we have offices. Most of [our designated employees] come up with their own ideas and then bring them to the table, and we want to support the kinds of things that are really important in the community,” Margle stated in the interview.
Great work to all employees who have helped Sabre assume this prestigious title!
