RightStar Community Outreach

RightStar’s PTO and VTO policies clearly illustrate our commitment to charitable and civic work and give employees encouragement and opportunities to get involved. Since implementing the PTO and VTO policies in 2010, RightStar is proud to say that employees have begun taking opportunities to utilize them. Employees have converted their PTO to charitable donations. VTO was used toward helping with such activities as a volunteer fire department fund raiser; computer training at Cornwall Community Hospice; and Operation Comfort at the Ft. Sam Houston Charity Golf tournament.

In 2011, RightStar instituted an annual company-wide Volunteer Day. RightStar staff across the United States put their time and hearts into helping those in need in their respective communities.

Here are some of the not-for-profit groups where RightStar has provided volunteer services:

The Capital Area Food Bank
Washington, DC

The Capital Area Food Bank is the largest, public non-profit hunger and nutrition education resource in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area.

The House
Washington, DC

Provides assistance to inner city youth and their families.
“It’s meant to be an urban oasis where teens get encouragement, praise, and the kind of stable relationships with adults that are often missing in their lives.” Washington Post.

A New Hope Center
Owego, NY

Here are some additional organizations that RightStar supported in the past:

The USO, a congressionally chartered, private, non-profit organization, delivers its programs and services at more than 130 locations around the world.

Middlesex Hospital Cancer Center. The Middlesex Hospital Cancer Center offers a multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment that keeps patients close to friends and family. The center blends state-of-the-art technology for diagnosis and treatment, with compassionate and knowledgeable care – all in one comprehensive facility.

Community Coalition for Haiti. The Community Coalition for Haiti is a Vienna, Virginia based interdenominational volunteer organization devoted to serving with the people of Haiti and surrounding areas to promote physical, educational, and economic development and faith in Jesus Christ. RightStar matched the donations made by employees.

Almost every year for the past 20 years Dick Stark runs in the Cherry Blossom 10 miler held in Washington DC in early April. This year he ran for the Children’s Miracle Network. This charitable network treats children needing heart or lung transplants, as well as children with Cancer, Cystic Fibrosis, Sickle Cell Anemia, and Pediatric AIDS.
