DaVita Announced as New Partner for The Denver Post Season to Share


DENVER, Oct 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Denver Post is excited to welcome DaVita as the new matching partner for the 25-year-long holiday fundraising campaign, The Denver Post Season to Share.

DaVita, a leading independent medical group and leading global provider of kidney care services headquartered in Denver, recognized the need for a hometown company to help the wide range of community groups that benefit from The Denver Post Season to Share. For the 2017/2018 campaign, DaVita will match donations at 50% up to $750,000. This commitment will leverage individual and corporate donations to allow for much needed work to continue by nonprofit organizations in the Metro Denver community.

"Our generous donors and beneficiaries make this campaign and community next to none and we are thrilled to have DaVita join us in making a difference through The Denver Post Season to Share," said Mac Tully, Publisher and CEO of The Denver Post and Chair of The Denver Post Community Foundation.

DaVita is heavily involved in Metro Denver and communities throughout Colorado and has invested significantly through its contributions to community and nonprofit organizations across the state. As a community first and a company second, DaVita's giving is in part guided by input from its teammates' (employees') interests.

"We look forward to making an impact with Season to Share and The Denver Post," said Kent Thiry, Chairman and CEO of DaVita. "This program aligns with our commitment to care for our community and the world through service projects and charitable contributions."

In addition to making charitable contributions, DaVita teammates volunteer in community service projects known as Village Service Days. In the past decade, DaVita teammates along with family and friends have volunteered nearly 140,000 hours through nearly 3,600 Village Service Days. 

The Denver Post Season To Share campaign will begin soliciting donations November 1, 2017 and continue through December 31, 2017. Last year, over $2.3 million was distributed to 50+ agencies serving the areas of children and youth, health and wellness, homelessness, and hunger.* Funds raised and matched by DaVita this year will be distributed in March 2018.
