The Leukemia Lymphoma Society – Light The Night
September 2004 – September 2008
Website: http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/hm_lls

Light the Night: http://www.lightthenight.org/

Julie's Core is our team that's helping The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to defeat blood cancers.
Light The Night is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's nationwide evening walk to commemorate lives touched by cancer and to raise awareness of blood cancers. Anyone can participate. Children, adults and seniors are all welcome. This is a casual walk with no fitness requirements. Walkers carry illuminated balloons. Participants carry red balloons and our survivors carry white balloons as a symbol of hope. Participants can also carry a gold balloon if they are walking in memory of someone who lost their life to a blood cancer. Every 10 minutes, another life is lost to blood cancer--an estimated 52,310 deaths in 2007.

Funds raised support our mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

The Boston Children’s Hospital, Mix 98.5 Radiothon
March 2008
Website: http://www.childrenshospital.org

Over the past 4 years, thousands of MIX 98.5 listeners have tuned in to the annual 2-day broadcast to hear inspiring stories about Children’s Hospital Boston and pledge their support. Their amazing generosity – more than $2.4 million so far – has allowed the hospital to help countless kids and families.

CoreMedical Group organized a team of volunteers to volunteer 3 hours of their time to answer phones during the 2008 Mix 98.5 Care for Kids Radiothon on Thursday, March 27th and Friday, March 28th. The 3 hours shifts started as early as 6am and ended around 7pm. As well as volunteering time to answer phones Core Medical Group also provided cash donations from our staff.

Note: Mix 98.5, now Mix 104.1 (as of 07/2009)

Stockings for Soldiers – Annual Holiday Donation
December 2007

CoreMedical Group selected Moore*Mart non-profit organization of Nashua, NH as our 2007 Holiday Charity. Moore* Mart began as a family effort to provide needed but unavailable supplies to our brother and his fellow soldiers serving in Iraq. Two years later they continue to supply soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan with anything they need that will make their job a little easier. In fact, they have been so successful in their mission that the soldiers have said that they "Carry more supplies than Wal*Mart", and dubbed them "Moore*Mart".

Our company goal is to provide much needed supplies and miscellaneous items to 46 soldiers who were deployed from our NH National Guard on November 4, 2007. This unit was expected to be deployed until at least June of 2009. Our contact at Moore*Mart has informed me that this recent troop is the youngest group of individuals ever to be deployed by our state (highest # of 18 year olds).

Sisters to Sisters
October 2007
Website: http://www.sistertosister.org

As a special memorial tribute to Karen Marie Circharo (1960-2007), a cookbook was compiled by friends, family and the staff at CoreMedical Group and published as a fundraiser, with all proceeds donated to benefit the prevention of women’s heart disease to Sisters to Sisters non-profit organization. This book, “Delicious Memories of Karen,” became available for sale early winter 2007 and continues to raise funds for women’s heart disease each month.

The Caitlin Raymond International Registry: Bone Marrow Donor Drive
August 2007
Website: http://www.crir.org

The Caitlin Raymond International Registry is a comprehensive resource for patients and physicians conducting a search for unrelated bone marrow or cord blood donor. The Caitlin Raymond International Registry (CRIR), a pioneer in the establishment of procedures and practices for stem cell donor search, is the oldest coordinating center for bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cell and placental cord unit search in the United States. Affiliations with more than 90 international registries and cord blood banks in 43 countries enables us to access nearly 6,700,000 donors and more than 210,000 cord blood units.

CRIR is a non profit organization of the UMass Memorial Medical Center in Massachusetts. CRIR was originally established in 1986 as a unit within the Division of Hematology-Oncology of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center specifically as a coordinating center for conducting national and international searches for unrelated donors. Today, approximately 300 patients each month are submitted for search. A marrow donation is a terrific way to offer hope to the thousands of patients in need of an unrelated marrow or stem cell donor.

CoreMedical Group held a donor registration and collection site here at our corporate location for all of our staff who wished to become a donor. Some of our employee’s friends and family also joined us on this day to become an active participating in the CRIR.

Bridges
December 2006
Website: http://www.bridgesnh.org

Bridges is a non-profit organization that works with abused families. This organization is responsible for taking these families in, providing for their immediate needs and then assists with transitioning them into their own accommodations. In the past we purchased items for children and their families but because at Bridge’s the families stay at the location is short lived, we will be donating money so that the charity can continue to exist and assist families who are in desperate need of help. Our donation will covered things such as: the plumbing bill or supplies (food, paper goods, toiletries, bedding, clothing, etc).

Support The Troops
April 2006

CoreMedical Group began our donation with the hopes to provide a little comfort of home by purchasing and sending Girls Scout Cookies to a local solider. However, our staff went above and beyond and organized an event to collect much needed items for a local solider Sgt Peter Boisvert and his unit. Our staff collected items such as: Girls Scout Cookies, toiletries, magazines, books, snacks, hand sanitizer, socks, puzzle books, disposable cameras, chap stick, razors, candy, and so much more.

Operation Santa
December 1999 – December 2005

CoreMedical Group provided much needed items to our local communities through partnership with the Ledge Street School of Nashua, NH and our local social service offices. Each year Core Medical Group would receive a list of families and the needs and wants of each member of the family. Together, we were able to help make some happy holiday for these families.

America Red Cross: Help for Hurricane Katrina Victims
September 2005
Website: http://www.redcross.org

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, one of the most devastating hurricanes to hit land in quite some time, the employees of CoreMedical Group felt compelled to do something to help all of the people affected by this terrible tragedy. During the past two weeks we have seen almost nothing but the effects of this terrible calamity; mass destruction, loss of life, people living on bridges or in shelters shared with hundreds to thousands of others, and pets with no homes or owners. This list could go on and on but we all get the picture: these people need our help!

We are asking for donations to be made to the Red Cross and sent to our corporate office. We realize that situations are different for everyone so all that we ask is that you donate what you can and, as with our Leukemia and Lymphoma Society fund and the Tsunami Relief effort, CoreMedical Group will match each donation dollar for dollar.

We thank all of you in advance for your kindness and your generosity. It’s truly wonderful to work with such a caring and giving group of individuals!

America Red Cross: Tsunami Relief Recover
January 2005
Website: http://www.redcross.org

A Message from our President/CEO:
As we mentioned briefly last week, all of us at CoreMedical are in awe of this terrible natural disaster and the havoc is it has reeked upon the millions that live in the region. Needless to say, we would all like to donate money to help aid the survivors and the Company is willing to match the sum total of all donations, dollar for dollar. There are a lot of generous, kind hearted people working at this company; this was just witnessed by our Operation Santa program. We also know that this disaster is coming on the heels of the holidays but unfortunately disasters can't be planned for a good time. We simply ask that you give what you can, for some that is a more than others but every dollar will be needed. The thing to remember is that you are giving, you are not standing by and saying "I wish I could do something to help", you are doing something to help. Your donation counts, regardless of the amount and your donation will double because CMG will match the amount.

Our objective is to provide the funds to an organization where the maximum amount will reach those who need it most; the survivors. We thank you in advance for your donation. We will tabulate the total donations made and match the total, dollar for dollar.

This is one of the most worthwhile causes we could consider for our charitable efforts. Many thousands of people have been left homeless and their lives devastated by this event. Many thousands of children have been left without parents and will need to be cared for long after the story leaves the front pages of the paper. Let's all do whatever we can - whatever that is for each of us - to make sure we've at least done our part. I know we'll all feel better; about ourselves, about each other, about humanity, for having done so.

Thank you for your generosity.
Armand L. Circharo, Jr., President/CEO
