Cleaning Up Our Shores
In celebration of Pacific Life’s 150th Anniversary and in honor of Earth Month, the Pacific Life Foundation hosted three volunteer events in Spring 2018 to clean up our shores and contribute to a trash-free environment.
In celebration of Pacific Life’s 150th Anniversary and in honor of Earth Month, the Pacific Life Foundation hosted three volunteer events in April 2018 to clean up our shores and contribute to a trash-free environment.
In partnership with Ocean Conservancy, Pacific Life employees in Omaha, Orange County, and Lynchburg, along with their families and friends, got up bright and early on Saturday to collect and measure trash along their local waterways, helping make a significant difference in the fight for trash-free shores.
“Our employees rose to the occasion – getting up early and in one case coming out in freezing weather – and helped make a real difference in some of our local waterways,” said Tere Segarra, Pacific Life's Community Relations Director. “We are so grateful to the people who came out and helped and to the amazing organizations we partnered with to make this event happen.”
Omaha
On Saturday, April 7, more than 56 volunteers in Omaha ventured out to Levi Carter Park to clean up Carter Lake Shore on the Iowa–Nebraska border.
Nate Erixon, Senior Facilities Coordinator in Omaha, said his volunteer group retrieved over 1,300 pounds of trash from the lake, including five tires.
"I particularly enjoyed the event because Carter Lake – which has different playgrounds, and swimming and fishing opportunities – is very busy during the warm months," he said.
Diana Gleisberg, Good Guys Leadership Team President and Supervisor of Customer Service, Retirement Solutions Division, said it was a well-run event and a great partnership with Keep Omaha Beautiful, Ocean Conservancy, and Pacific Life.
“I think this event helped to bring awareness of the importance of not littering and exposed us to city parks that some of us didn’t know existed. And with a nice lake view, who wouldn’t want to go back?” — Diana Gleisberg
Orange County
Saturday, April 28, Orange County volunteers sifted through sand, climbed on rocks, and walked along more than a mile of Aliso Beach Park to clean up marine debris along the shore. The group collected about 80 pounds of trash. The top three items collected were plastic pieces, food wrappers, and cigarette butts.
“While 80 pounds does not sound like a lot, that included a ton of small pieces of trash, like Styrofoam, which was scattered everywhere in teeny tiny pieces,” said Marryn Santucci, Senior Community Relations Coordinator, Corporate. “The team worked really hard to pick up even the smallest bits of trash, which was not easy over miles of sand.”
Carol Grace, Supervisor of Reinsurance Administration in our Life Insurance Division and Good Guys Leadership Team President in Orange County, assisted with checking in volunteers for the event. “We had a great turn out, and it is always so nice to see young children exposed to these kinds of projects,” she said.
Lynchburg
Lynchburg employees had a fantastic cleanup on Saturday morning, June 2, with a crew of 24 Pacific Life employee volunteers and family! Eager volunteers removed 588 pounds of trash from the James River waterfront, about a half mile stretch.
