Community

BG: a company that gives back.

Like any company of good conscience, BG believes in giving back to the community that supports it. Through many donations and activities over the years, BG prides itself in its extensive involvement with community and nonprofit organizations.

One particular example is BG’s contribution to the Yellow Ribbon Fund. In 2008, BG made significant donations to the Mologne House Courtyard Program through the Yellow Ribbon Fund.

Created in 2005, the Yellow Ribbon Fund offers assistance to injured service members and their families while they recover at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center.

The Yellow Ribbon Fund has provided: over 700 rental cars spanning more than 35,000 days; over 9,000 taxi rides; over 2,800 hotel rooms; 38 apartments for almost 3,000 nights; hundreds of tickets to sporting games, concerts and plays and other activities.

Supporting our troops through the Yellow Ribbon Fund is just one example of BG’s community involvement.
