COMMUNITY WELL-BEING



        “Whether participating in the race or volunteering, so many employees and their families came out to support and
        celebrate our community,” said Helen Drotor, a business analytics analyst at the corporate office who volunteered all
        morning at the race. “My favorite part was cheering the runners on at the finish line and seeing the looks on their faces
        when they accomplished their goals. I feel very grateful to be part of an organization where employees are excited to
        come out on a Sunday at 6 a.m. to show the community why our company rocks.”

        The race is another example of Martin Marietta’s commitment to community well-being. While signing with the City of
        Oaks Marathon, Martin Marietta’s leadership also decided to match every donation to this year’s charity beneficiary, Girls
        on the Run Triangle.

        Girls on the Run Triangle positively impacts and inspires thousands of young girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using
        a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running and physical activity. With the help of trained, caring
        and qualified coaches, girls learn critical life skills and even contribute to the community through a service project.

        In total, the race was able to raise over $21,000 to help the organization.

        “We were so excited to offer the people of Raleigh and The Triangle a fun and healthy activity that touches so many parts
        of our beautiful community,” said Shannon Sanders, Sr. Communication Specialist and member of Girls on the Run.
        “When we asked Girls on the Run Triangle to be our charitable partner for this event, their team was equally excited. Girls
        on the Run does such important work to help young women gain the confidence they need to become the leaders of
        tomorrow, and that is something we’re proud to support.”
