2008 Global Volunteer Award Winners

Marathon's Global Volunteer Awards (GVA) program honors employee volunteers and benefits communities around the world where we live and work. The GVA program annually grants up to 50 awards of $1,000 (or local currency equivalent) to the nonprofit organizations where winning volunteers share their time, talent and energy. Since its inception, the GVA program has benefited nonprofits operating in countries such as China, Ireland, Mexico, Pakistan, Romania, Scotland and the United States.
