STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Synchrony (NYSE: SYF), a
premier consumer financial services company, jumped into 2024 with
its ninth annual "Doubles Dive" today. More than 120 dedicated
employees, including Brian Doubles, President and CEO of
Synchrony, dove into the chilly Long Island Sound on February 29th, all in the name of
charity.
Despite the windy 34 degrees air temperature, the team's
spirits soared as they plunged for a purpose. Since 2015,
Synchrony employees companywide have participated in the event
through diving, donating, or taking part in an Ice Bucket
Challenge. The funds raised during the Connecticut event will go to the Connecticut-based nonprofit SeriousFun
Children's Network, an organization devoted to creating summer camp
experiences for children with serious illnesses and medical
conditions in the U.S., India, and
the Philippines.
Synchrony, celebrating 10 years since IPO this year, not only
raised and matched more than $113,000
to the nonprofit this year, but has collectively raised more than
$1 million for charities since
2016.
