The large integrated healthcare network successfully concluded its second annual charitable giving program across multiple states
SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 – FORT LEE, NJ – CareOne, a leading, family-owned senior care provider with more than 60 locations in the U.S, ended its second annual Summer of Sharing charitable giving program, raising funds for local charities.
CareOne created Summer of Sharing in 2023 in an effort to affect change on a local level and mobilize its facilities across multiple states to give back to the communities it serves. Last year, the healthcare network raised $60,000.
Earlier this summer, each building selected a local cause or charity for which to raise money. Over the past three months, buildings have organized fundraisers and engaged with their community networks to support their causes.
“Summer of Sharing is our yearly opportunity to invest back into the communities that have always embraced us,” said CareOne Chairman and CEO, Daniel E. Straus. “I am proud to see our teams mobilize and extend our commitment to care beyond their four walls and make a difference in the lives of those who may need a little extra support.”
CareOne selected more than 30 local organizations that support a variety of causes, from food banks, family services, housing and beyond. Fundraising efforts included facility events such as family fun days, “paint and sip” parties as well as car washes. To close out the initiative, many CareOne locations hosted celebrations honoring their beneficiaries to present them with the funds raised.
“Giving back to the community is a core pillar of the CareOne Difference,” said Anne Marie Gauntlet, SVP of Operations for CareOne. “We are thankful to our employees, residents and patients who dedicated their summer to their causes. It was heartwarming to see the CareOne community work together to further support the communities they serve.”
