2009 Community Events Calendar

Ensuring a Better Community for the People We Insure

GEICO takes pride in being one of the nation's fastest growing auto insurance companies: we are equally proud of the work we do outside our office walls. Part of GEICO's corporate mission is to encourage active, involved citizenship. GEICO associates read, build, mentor, walk, run, coach - we do whatever it takes to help organizations and people in need.

Through GEICO Corporate Community Citizens (GCCC), our associates contribute to, and participate in a variety of activities where we have offices. More than 4,000 associates volunteer an average of five hours a week helping many worthwhile organizations.
