Precor Gives
Giving at Precor Comes from the Heart
At Precor, we recognize the importance of strong communities and the role that charitable organizations play as a safety net for so many people, animals and the environment.
That’s why, in 2006, we established the Precor Gives program.
Created to allow Precor employees to give to the charity of their choice, Precor Gives currently supports more than 70 organizations with 501(c)3 status, such as Susan G. Komen for the Cure, American Diabetes Association, Audubon Society, Habitat for Humanity and World Vision. We also support local organizations such as local Boys & Girls Clubs, Northwest Harvest, Homeward Pet Adoption and the Coastal Conservation Association.
Precor Gives matches employee contributions, dollar for dollar up to $5,000 per employee, per year. Since its introduction in 2006, Precor Gives has grown each year as more employees choose to give from the heart.
