Philanthropy Absher receives dozens of requests annually for charitable and philanthropic support. While we are unable to accommodate all requests, all are considered. Our Community Involvement committee meets every fall to review our involvement and plan for the coming year's support. E-mail inquiries regarding Absher's support of your event or organization can be sent to Community Outreach Coordinator Stephanie Caldwell (click here to e-mail). Please note that Absher primarily focuses on supporting industry-, youth- and family-oriented organizations.
