As a growing company committed to improving the quality of life for the people who use our products, DJO Global, Inc., its employees and suppliers believe it is important to give back to our communities. DJO has initiated a multi-tier plan and Community Outreach Program throughout the Company’s locations. This plan involves corporate support of local programs, national campaigns and volunteerism. Corporate citizenship is a Company value that strengthens the fabric of DJO as an organization and supports the Company’s mission to improve lives by developing leading medical devices that become the standard of care in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions.

At the local level, the Company has been involved with many efforts to benefit the community:

  • Donating back-to-school supplies to the local Boys & Girls Clubs in each of our domestic locations to help under privileged kids start the new school year;
  • Hosting its Annual Golf Classic to support worthy causes like the Arthritis Foundation and the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. The Arthritis Foundation is the largest private, not-for-profit contributor to arthritis research in the world, funding more than $380 million in research grants since 1948 to improve the quality of life for those living with arthritis. The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation provides scholarships for the children of Marines and other active duty service men and women who are killed in the line of duty while combating terrorism. Since our fist Annual Golf Classic in 2005, DJO has raised over $1,000,000 dollars for these and other worthy causes;
  • Employee volunteerism for a local program that refurbishes homes in the less-privileged areas of the City of Vista, California;
  • Employee volunteerism to refurbish the Boys & Girls Club of San Diego;
  • Organizing annual drives for food, toys and donations for the North County Partnership for Change, an organization that provides relief for homeless people in the northern part of San Diego County;
  • DJO is proud to be a Silver Sponsor of the San Diego Children’s Hospital;
  • Contributing bracing and support products to Project Walk, a program designed to help rehabilitate spinal cord injury patients.

On the national level, both employees and the Company have also generously donated to many relief efforts including the American Red Cross, The United Way, as well as specific disaster-related support for the victims of San Diego County’s wild fires and the Tsunami relief effort.
