Ryder System, Inc. announced that its annual United Way workplace campaign raised $1.17 million in 2025, marking the highest total in the company’s more than 40-year history of supporting United Way. The donation includes contributions from employees and the Ryder Charitable Foundation.
The campaign, themed “Provide Lasting Help, Right HERE,” engaged Ryder employees across the United States through a combination of virtual and in-person fundraising activities over five days. The initiative supported United Way’s efforts to improve health and wellbeing, education, community resilience, and economic mobility.
“Each year, Ryder employees go above and beyond in their support for United Way’s mission,” said Robert Sanchez, Ryder Chairman and CEO as well as past chairman of the board for United Way Miami. “This record-breaking milestone reflects our employees’ commitment to helping others and building stronger communities. I am grateful to everyone who contributed, as this milestone reflects the compassion and drive our people bring to every cause.”
The funds will help United Way chapters expand access to education, healthcare, financial resources, and build resilient communities where Ryder employees live and work.
“For more than forty years, Ryder and United Way have stood together in the belief that every person deserves hope and opportunity,” said Symeria Hudson, president and CEO of United Way Miami. “This record-setting donation not only reflects Ryder’s ongoing dedication to philanthropy and community-building, but also demonstrates how philanthropic leadership inspires Ryder employees everywhere. With more than 1,000 United Way locations nationwide, their collective generosity multiplies our impact and helps families overcome real challenges. Ryder’s people are truly helping to transform lives.”
Cristina Gallo-Aquino, Ryder CFO who served as this year’s campaign chair added: “It’s remarkable to see how Ryder employees step up year after year to support the United Way and its vast network of local nonprofit organizations. United Way partners with agencies that deliver critical services—everything from early education and emergency assistance to workforce development and financial resiliency programs. Our employees’ generosity helps strengthen those organizations and creates meaningful, measurable impact in communities across the country. I’m grateful and extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished together.”
