ST. LOUIS -- Enterprise Rent-A-Car of Southern California recently donated more than $2.8 million in pledges to the United Way of Greater Los Angeles’s 2004-05 campaign. Contributing to that number were nearly 800 employees giving $1,000 or more, the company announced last week.

Employees’ donations totaled more than $1.8 million with the company giving 50 cents to every dollar employees donated. This makes the third consecutive year that Enterprise has donated more than $2 million.
