Photos: 2011 XL’s Global Day of Giving
This past Monday [May 16] some 2,400 XL employees in 22 countries worked on more than 150 projects during XL’s sixth annual Global Day of Giving.
In Bermuda, nine working groups tackled tasks for PALS, Salvation Army, Bermuda National Trust, Bermuda National Museum, Bermuda Zoo Society, Bermuda Hospital Auxiliary, Meals on Wheels, SPCA and Westmeath. All projects were employee-led and organized.

“XL is committed to the communities where our colleagues live and work all over the world, and the Global Day of Giving is a very tangible way to show it,” said Amanda Outerbridge, Executive Director of the XL Foundation. “Over the years, with thousands of people working together, we have accomplished a great deal – enhancing parklands and open spaces, caring for the young and old, rehabilitating facilities, building homes, and more.”
