Suffolk Construction was ranked 28th among the top corporate charitable givers in Mass., according to a report by the Boston Business Journal. With over $1.81 million in giving in 2006 alone, the company was recognized for its charitable giving and for the contributions made by its employees. The announcement was made at the second annual Corporate Philanthropy Summit, which was attended by more than 650 leaders representing local and national and non-profit organizations. The summit was led by the Boston Business Journal, in partnership with The Boston Foundation, the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce and the United Way of Massachusetts Bay. "After the second year of researching and fostering dialog on corporate philanthropy, we continue to see major corporations partnering with leadership in our communities to solve social issues and improve the quality of life for many in the area," said Mike Olivieri, publisher of the Boston Business Journal.
