GlassyBaby receives civic honor

Madrona’s GlassyBaby (3406 E. Union St.) was one of four Washington companies selected as to receive the 2015 Corporations for Communities award, which honors Washington businesses that make helping the community a priority.

GlassyBaby, one of two honored in the Large Company category, was nominated for its partnership with Veterans Affairs partnership programs. The company gives 10 percent of its revenue to nonprofits, a practice that goes back to 1995. During that span, it has contributed more than $3 million to nonprofits. It has partnered with the Chelan Valley Fire Fund to raise money for wildfire victims.  

Secretary of State Kim Wyman presented the four honorees with a National Association of Secretaries of State Medallion Award during a ceremony on Dec. 16. The Medallion Award recognizes civic engagement, voter education efforts, government services and a commitment to giving back to the community.
