With a refreshed strategy led by Marisa Brighton, Swisher’s senior director of community engagement, the 162-year-old company is placing a renewed emphasis on supporting community causes that tie directly to its core values and shared priorities with employees.

Swisher’s philanthropic efforts will focus on four key areas, including supporting the nation’s heroes and families, community health and well-being, community revitalization, and higher education through strategic partnerships and programs.

“Swisher has long been recognized for its dedication to community service and philanthropy in Jacksonville and beyond,” stated Brighton. “We are reigniting our legacy by forging deeper connections and cultivating enduring partnerships that enhance the quality of life for our community.”
