Western Athletic Clubs has been ranked #3 in "Best Places to Work in the Greater Bay Area!"
Western Athletic Clubs is proud to have been named third on the list of the Best Places to Work in the Greater Bay Area. Since 1977, we've set the standard for excellence with our facilities, our programs - and most importantly, our employees.
Through the hard work and dedication of our employees, we have grown to serve more than 45,000 members throughout the Bay Area. Every day - in each of our Clubs - we focus on our mission to "enhance people's lives".
Being named in the top three of one of the Best Places to Work confirms what we at WAC have known for years - it's our employees that make the difference.
This is the second award presented to WAC by the San Francisco Business Times. In 2006, WAC was awarded the Corporate Philanthropy Innovator of the Year Award for our IMPACT program working with breast cancer patients.
Western Athletic Clubs Is Top Giver in Breast Cancer Walk
Employees, members, and friends of Western Athletic Clubs (WAC) raised a record-breaking $258,000 for the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk held on October 20, 2007.
With WAC's matching donation, we made a total contribution of over $516,000 to provide groundbreaking research as well as local programs and services for breast cancer patients and their families.
A flagship sponsor of the event for the seventh consecutive year, WAC donated more than any other company in the Bay Area to this important cause. All of WAC's eight clubs participated in the event. Nearly every club broke its own fundraising record from last year, thanks again to hard work and some very creative club events.
WAC employees, members, and friends spent a fun morning in the park and contributed their time, enthusiasm, and donations to a great cause. With their support, we're leading the way to ensure that some day, no more mothers, sisters, daughters, or friends will be lost to this disease.
We are committed to living our mission statement, "We Enhance People's Lives." Learn more about Western Athletic Clubs' philanthropic efforts.
