Newtown Charitable Donation
The tragedy in Newtown hit close to home for Bearingstar and the communities that we serve across Connecticut. Bearingstar employees wanted to do their part to help. Together with the “Bearingstar Charitable Fund” and the “Arbella Insurance Foundation”, they teamed up to provide additional financial support, with donations exceeding $22,000 — all in support of charities working with the affected families including the Newtown Memorial Fund, Newtown Youth and Family Services, United Way of Western CT(Sandy Hook School Support Fund) and the University of Connecticut Foundation(Sandy Hook School Memorial Scholarship Fund).
David Curran from Bearingstar’s Southbury office and Jennifer Lajoie from the Avon Office recently presented a donation to Rick Mazzariello, Board Member of the Newtown Memorial Fund. The donation to NMF was just over $6,000. After the tragedy, Jennifer spent hours making green and white ribbons for employees who made donations to the fund. We encourage everyone to keep our neighbors in Newtown in their thoughts and prayers and remember that they still need our help.
The Newtown Memorial Fund is planning their first annual golf outing fundraiser in August. They will have many volunteer and sponsorship opportunities available and you don’t need to be a golfer!
