Appleby employees have donated over $28,000 to local charities in a stylish fashion. During the last financial year, employees in the Appleby Cayman office were given the opportunity to dress down on Fridays by making a donation to their choice of two charities, the Cayman Islands Cancer Society or Cayman HospiceCare. In addition to the two main charities, three special dress down days took place during the year and the funds raised were donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, MOvember and the Lions Club of Tropical Gardens’ Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign.
Cayman HospiceCare is a not for profit organisation committed to providing dignified, quality comfort care, free of charge, to everyone in the Cayman Islands living with end-stage diseases. Cayman HospiceCare is also committed to enhancing and improving the lives of all those affected by death, and to assuring long-term emotional, spiritual and general well-being to survivors after loss. The total donation to Cayman HospiceCare was over $16,000.
Jennifer Grant-McCarthy, Fundraising Manager of Cayman HospiceCare remarked, “We are incredibly proud of the work we do at Cayman HospiceCare and the treatment and care we are able to provide to the terminally ill and their families is only possible with community support. The difference that Appleby’s donation will make to the continued operation of Cayman HospiceCare is enormously appreciated. This donation goes a long way in making the extraordinary end of life care we provide possible.”
The Cayman Islands Cancer Society is a non-profit organisation which aims to increase awareness within the Cayman Islands of cancer, to initiate positive change, to prevent the development of the disease and to support cancer patients and their families.
Jennifer Weber, Operations Manager of the Cayman Islands Cancer Society, said of the donation, “Appleby’s support of the Society will greatly assist us in our achieving our mission. Cancer is a major health concern within the Cayman Islands and we believe that our work is crucial in improving the quality of life and health for everyone. The Society is very pleased and grateful that Appleby and its employees have shown their support for our cause, and we commend them for making such a positive contribution to our community.”
Speaking about the donations, Appleby Cayman Office Managing Partner, Huw Moses OBE, remarked, “Cayman HospiceCare and the Cayman Islands Cancer Society provide critical services to our community and aim to improve quality of life, an ideal that Appleby strongly supports locally and globally.”
