Chevron and the Golf Channel have teamed up to look outside the ropes of golf to bring to light compelling life stories that have enriched the lives of many. Continue to watch each week as new stories of human energy are told throughout the Chevron World Challenge.

NetSpend Pays It Forward
Pre-Paid Debit Card Company Benefits

NetSpend is not forgetting to spread the wealth in their communities. As part of their annual meeting, NetSpend surprised their employees with a "Pay It Forward Day" of service. The company was split into groups of 10. Their task: to bring as much money and resources as possible to the non-profit they were assigned within a 4-hour time period.

NetSpend employees raised almost $16,000 for The Arc and committed to a year of volunteering. They were able to secure $8,900 in cash pledges, $5,341 in in-kind supplies, and to top it off they commissioned a piece of artwork to commemorate their very successful day of giving.
 
NetSpend Corporation is one of the leading providers of prepaid debit cards in the United States. A pioneer in the industry since its inception in 1999, NetSpend prepaid debit cards give financial freedom and convenience to more than 100 million underbanked consumers in the United States.
