Operation Cancer Care Giveback Event
We had a great Giveback event at our Education Symposium on November 18, 2016 at the Babson Conference Center. The Global team came together and started the Symposium with an Operation Cancer Care event to benefit children battling cancer. The recipient of our efforts was Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Giveback initiatives have become a cornerstone of the Symposium and this was a cause that we could all embrace, since we all know someone affected by cancer.
We had to get creative using poetry, drawing, and other events that culminated in putting together 27 personalized care packages from the 9 teams that would be donated to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Personalized notes and pictures of the teams with masks were included in our hopes to help lift the spirits of the children receiving the packages. We had great facilitators, high energy and a sense of accomplishment after the event. A Spokesperson from Dana Farber spoke to us at the conclusion about the programs at Dana Farber and thanked us for the donation.
