NAPA, Calif. - AUL Corp., the award-winning and leading warranty and vehicle service contract administrator in America just released a reporting of its recent contributions to charities. Since 2012, AUL Corp. has contributed $173,619.00 to 80 separate non-profit organizations. These organizations range from local Napa food banks and children's charities. AUL has committed to continue this effort through 2017.

In 2012, AUL decided to create a dedicated committee to coordinate these charitable contributions. This committee includes non-management employees who have been tasked with discussing and facilitating the contributions. This group is staffed by people who were identified by their peers as wonderful ambassadors of AUL and our community.

AUL's President and CEO, Luis Nieves, stated, "At AUL, we believe that getting involved in charity programs contributes to strengthened professional skills, team building, thinking creatively, and contributes to job satisfaction overall—that's why we've created this wonderful opportunity within our company."

Jimmy Atkinson, AUL's Chief Operating Officer, agreed and added, "AUL strongly believes that our products are only as great as our people. One of AUL Core Values is 'Appreciation;' if you ever work with us or spend time in our office you will hear 'Thank you' a lot. We always strive to show appreciation to colleagues, partners, customers, clients, etc. We also believe this commitment should be extended to our community. This committee has done a beautiful job."
