PUTNAM — Day Kimball Healthcare (DKH) announced that SPIROL International Corporation, a global manufacturer headquartered in Danielson pledged to support the Northeast Connecticut Cancer Fund of DKH in the company’s 2019 fiscal year.
At SPIROL’s annual employee picnic held Oct. 4, its fund-raising team announced the results of its pledge which totaled $15,000. In addition to designating the company’s annual employee giving campaign to the Northeast Connecticut Cancer Fund of DKH, the team raised money by hosting various philanthropic events throughout the year.
The team also participated in DKH sponsored fund-raising events to further benefit the Fund as well as the DKH Oncology Department which included: DKH’s 125th anniversary kick-off celebration, DKH Wine Tasting, Cruisin’ for Cancer Care Guest Bartender Night, Cruisin’ for Cancer Motorcycle & Car Cruise, Paddle for a Cure, and the NECT Cancer Fund Walk & Race.
As part of the fund-raising initiatives, SPIROL supported the hard work of its employees by contributing $5,000 as the corporate presenting sponsor of the 2019 NECT Cancer Fund Walk & Race.
“We are deeply grateful to SPIROL and its employees for their generous contribution to the health and wellbeing of those in the communities that both our organizations serve,” said DKH Director of Development, Kristen Willis. “Since the NECT Cancer Fund of DKH was established, it has always been about the community coming together to support our neighbors in a time of need. SPIROL shares that vision and it is reflected in the efforts of its employees who have made a significant impact on the NECT Cancer Fund. Day Kimball is not only fortunate to have a longstanding relationship with SPIROL, but the energy and enthusiasm its staff bring with them in supporting cancer care in our community.”
