Giving back to our communities is an important part of our culture. As our company has grown, so has the size and scope of our giving. In 2008, we contributed $39 million in cash and in-kind contributions to enhance the quality of life in our communities. Our corporate giving programs include monetary grants, in-kind donations, volunteerism, in-store fundraising, our CVS Samaritan Van, and funding for health care research. In addition, we provide support through grants to deserving organizations from our foundation, the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust.
While the company supports a variety of important issues and causes, our primary focus is helping to make life easier for children with disabilities. Through a program called CVS Caremark All Kids Can™ which we developed with input from customers, colleagues and nonprofits, CVS Caremark raises awareness about the importance of inclusion of children of all abilities and strengthens the capacity of our partner organizations serve children with disabilities and their families by providing them with grants and other resources.
