Babson Capital será el principal patrocinador del recaudador de fondos del Levine Children's Hospital
CHARLOTTE - An entrepreneurial investment firm known for its 'out-of-the-box thinking' has stepped forward to support one of the most innovative and comprehensive children's hospitals in the Southeast - Levine Children's Hospital (LCH).
The local office of Babson Capital Management LLC has signed on as the new presenting sponsor for the 13th Annual Hopebuilders 5K Run/Walk, a signature fundraiser for LCH. Since its inception, the event - which attracted more than 900 participants last year - has raised millions of dollars to support children's healthcare in the Carolinas. Babson Capital tiene una historia de apoyar a las comunidades donde actúa, comprometiéndose generosamente a mejorar los programas que benefician a los niños. En 2008, la organización donó $325,000 a organizaciones sin fines de lucro que ayudan a las tres comunidades comerciales de mayor importancia: Springfield y Boston, Mass, y Charlotte.
'We're pleased to expand initiatives that allow us to make a greater impact in the communities where we live and work,' said Babson Capital President Thomas Finke. 'We have targeted organizations where Babson Capital can provide significant financial support and where our employees have opportunities to volunteer and personally participate in other ways.' Además de patrocinar a Hopebuilders, Babson Capital ha organizado un equipo corporativo para participar en la carrera 5K. Los miembros del equipo están recaudando fondos en línea (www.hopebuilders5k.org) y también serán voluntarios el día del evento.
The Hopebuilders 5K Run/Walk will be held Saturday, October 11 at 8 a.m. The event, which begins and ends at Morehead Medical Plaza on the campus of Carolinas Medical Center, features a new route through Myers Park, as well as a kids Fun Run and special appearances from Sir Purr, the Knights 'Homer,' the Chick fil A cow, and media partners Lite102.9 and WSOC-TV.
