text: Chesapeake’s sense of civic commitment provides a bountiful harvest of 
  benefits to cities large and small. We partner with groups and organizations 
  across all of our operating areas to improve the communities our employ- 
  ees, contractors, vendors, land and mineral owners call home. We believe 
  the success of our business depends on the strength, goodwill and vitality 
  of those communities. Most importantly, we believe it is the responsibility 
  of every successful business to share success with its neighbors. 
  
  In 2010 we gave more than $25 million to charitable organizations 
  and projects across our operating areas, primarily focusing on community 
  development, education, health and medical and social services.
