The Boyd Group takes its social responsibility very seriously. When our communities are strong and prosperous, we all benefit. The Boyd Miles of Smiles program is our commitment to the community, and it encompasses a variety of worthy causes that we are proud to support. There are many great causes, far more than we can possibly support. Therefore, we have selected a number of organizations that we feel reflect our passion and our desire to give back.
The mission of the Boyd Miles of Smiles program is to enrich the communities in which we operate by providing our support, both financial and otherwise, to charitable organizations that are committed to making a difference in the lives of those in need. It is a promise to our customers, employees, and suppliers that we are dedicated to building meaningful relationships as a productive member of the community.
