Crawford Cares increases funds raised for WICC

Crawford Cares has donated more than $80,000 to Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade (WICC).
Crawford & Company (Canada) CEO John Sharoun presented a cheque for $80,661.95 during a luncheon hosted in honour of WICC on Feb. 9.
In years past, Crawford employees have raised between $50,000 and $55,000 annually. This year, the donations increased exponentially to more than $80,000.
“This year, more than any other year, our employees completely embraced WICC and Crawford Cares,” Steve Anderson, senior vice president of corporate markets and administration, said in a release. “They jumped in whole-heartedly and participated in various fundraisers, payroll deductions, the Relay for Life and other activities. I really don’t think we can express how proud we are of our staff and all of the efforts they consistently make for this wonderful cause.”
Crawford Cares has raised more than $330,000 for WICC since Crawford Cares inception in January 2004.
“Crawford employees threw their hats into the ring and raised the bar this year,” Sharoun said during the cheque presentation. “The addition of the Relay for Life event also really boosted our employees’ enthusiasm and fundraising efforts.
“We had a wonderful time staying up all night, honouring friends and loved ones, and for that event alone, employees and Crawford branches across Canada raised more than $25,000.”
