Our Community Engagement is More Than Days of Service and Veteran Support

Generating hope, one wish at time with Make-a-Wish of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana

The ability to grant a wish for a critically ill child and their family is incredible and is the reason why GE Lighting has passionately worked selflessly for the past 20 years to support Make-a-Wish of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.  The main mode of fundraising for wishes is through an annual large-scale golf outing and raffle.  In the past 20 years, GE Lighting, in partnership with generous donors, in-kind partners and hole sponsors, has raised $308,000 which has granted 50 wishes in Northeast Ohio.  We are proud to display the wish children and their families in our halls for all to see.

Improving Education, Income and Health in local communities through United Way

Our teams are advocates and supporter of United Way.  Annually our employees contribute to the corporate campaign to support education, income and health programs in local communities.  This campaign usually drives a little competition and a whole lot of fun!
