NASHVILLE (November 6, 2023) Bridgestone Americas (Bridgestone) today announced its Nashville teammates and partners from across the country raised more than $2.44 million in 2023 for the United Way of Greater Nashville to support the organization’s network of local organizations providing essential services and programs across Middle Tennessee. This year’s donation is yet another record for the company in support of a nearly 30-year partnership with United Way that has raised more than $12.8 million for the organization since 2015.

Nashville-based Bridgestone teammates demonstrated their generosity this year through a giving campaign that raised more than $1 million for United Way. The company also raised nearly $1.4 million through its sixth annual Bridgestone United Way Charitable Golf Tournament held on October 17 at Hermitage Golf Club in Nashville. Thanks to Bridgestone’s teammates and partners, the tournament is the largest fundraising golf tournament in the country for United Way and has generated more than $5.7 million in the six years it has been played.
