Rounding out 2023 with our annual week of giving capped off a great year. Egan’s shareholders connected with local groups, nonprofits, and organizations in December with charitable donations to help positively impact the communities in which we live and work. From children’s hospitals and healthcare facilities to local food banks and everything in between, the following causes were selected by the Egan team as organizations that align with our purpose and values:
