Chicago – November 3, 2025 – CoreGiving, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting childhood hunger, hosted its fifth annual CoreGiving Day on October 9, 2025. For the second consecutive year, the initiative expanded globally—engaging more than 3,500 employees from Blackstone and 31 of its portfolio companies and strategic partners to support hunger-relief organizations in over 90 cities across 15 countries. Together, their efforts made more than 1 million meals accessible to neighbors in need throughout North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
“CoreGiving Day showcases the extraordinary impact we can make when we come together with purpose,” said Luke J. Petherbridge, chairman and co-founder of CoreGiving and CEO of Link Logistics. “What began as a grassroots effort has evolved into a global force, and I am humbled by our volunteers’ and sponsors’ passion and commitment to this great cause.”
“This year’s CoreGiving Day was our most impactful yet,” said Bridget O'Connell, executive director of CoreGiving. “Thanks to the incredible energy of our volunteers and the generous support of CBRE Group Inc., Cushman & Wakefield, Eastdil Secured, JLL and Newmark Group Inc., we were able to fund and facilitate access to more than 1 million meals for individuals and families facing food insecurity. We’re grateful for the momentum this collective effort has created and remain inspired by the lasting impact we can achieve together in the fight against hunger.”
