PROMOTING EDUCATIONWe’re committed to improving the lives and futures of our team through scholarships, tuition reimbursement and training programs.

SERVING COMMUNITIESWe promote a culture of giving back to the community through service by encouraging and organizing volunteers with our Unity Hours program.

We engage in community improvement and development programs that align with Sun’s vision and goals.

EXTENDING REACHWe’re committed to providing opportunities across the geographically diverse locations in which we operate.

We initiate social responsibility efforts through the Sun Unity program. As a team, we join together and give back to the communities in which we live and work nationwide. The Sun Unity program focuses in different areas to make the greatest impact with our resources.

TEAM MEMBERSWe provide our team members with the opportunity to volunteer with organizations in which they have a passion to support. In 2018, Sun team members generously volunteered their time through our Unity Hours program. Through our quarterly charity employee match program, team members contributed over $8,400 to six national charities supporting Health and Wellness, Community Development, Homelessness and the Environment.

RESIDENTS AND GUESTSThe give back spirit extends into our resorts and communities where events are coordinated for our guests and residents to get involved. Over 65 of our communities & resorts led local Sun Unity initiatives such as sending care packages to deployed service members, conducting school supply drives for under privileged children and participating in cancer fundraising events.

The Sun Unity program provides opportunities for our Team Members, our Residents and our Guests to be more active in the local and global community.

• Develop a giving back team member culture

• Extend Sun Unity programs into the local area where our communities and resorts operate

• Provide opportunities to involve our customers in Sun Unity initiatives

• Increase support towards environmental/health programs

• Expand our local and global volunteer opportunities

SUN UNITY CONTINUES TO PURSUE GOALS TO EXTEND OUR LOCAL AND GLOBAL REACH.
