NRG Celebrates Choose To Give Program Anniversary with Football Fun!

On Monday, June 13, NRG hosted its 7th Annual Media Charity Flag Football Game. Over 20 members of the media, along with members of each nonprofit, took part to help raise $36,000 for NRG’s four original Choose to Give partners. This year marks the 5th Anniversary of the Choose to Give program. That program allows NRG customers to choose energy plans that benefit one of four nonprofits. When customers sign up, NRG makes a $50 contribution to the nonprofit and then makes an ongoing 1% contribution of the supply portion of the customer’s bill for each year they remain a customer. The program has expanded to seven nonprofits. As of June 2022, NRG has contributed more than $6 million to its Choose to Give partners.

Josh has been passionate about weather as long as his memory dates! From watching the Weather Channel at age 7, to making hand-drawn hurricane maps at age 11, starting his first weather site at 13, and founding PWA at 15 and forecasting for the state for the past 9 years, Josh's interest in weather has never dwindled! As difficult as it is, he greatly enjoys forecasting for Pennsylvania due to its countless microclimates. The state is an East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
