Gary Gorran Charity Award
The Gary Gorran Charity Award is named after Gary Gorran, who built an admirable career with countless distinguished accomplishments at J&J and charitable activities. Gary blazed a remarkable trail that lives on through all he touched. He had high standards and required them of those he worked with, treating everyone with respect. If you were facing a problem, he was the person you wanted to see. Gary was a significant leader at Johnson & Johnson during his career and continued in retirement by leading the Florida Retirees' Club of J&J for ten years. Gary lived and breathed the Credo. He gave back through his generous service in his professional career and in retirement. His life’s accomplishments and particularly his community service in the years since he retired exemplify his commitment to the Credo and social responsibility. The Gary Gorran Charity Award is a celebration of his life and those contributions.
