William Raveis Breast Cancer Fund Introduces New Partner Program
Shelton, Conn (PRWEB) July 11, 2013 -- Today, the William Raveis Breast Cancer Fund announced its inaugural class of partners for the newly launched Partner Program. Partner companies support the mission of the William Raveis Breast Cancer Fund by donating a portion of each sale, and in some cases other financial incentives to the Breast Cancer Fund.
“By partnering with the William Raveis Breast Cancer Fund, these companies have another way in which to give back to the communities they serve,” said Bill Raveis, chairman and chief executive officer of William Raveis Real Estate, Mortgage & Insurance. “Our partners are joining us in the fight against breast cancer, and we look forward to growing the program as we move forward.”
Since 2004, the William Raveis Breast Cancer Fund[1] has raised over $1.6 million to support the William Raveis-ASC Patient Navigator Program at the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington, Conn. and the Patient Navigator Program at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Mass. Combined, these two Patient Navigator programs assisted more than 1,300 patients in 2012.
“We are very excited to welcome our first partners, SWAT Environmental and PlanOmatic, to the program,” said Bill Gamelli, senior vice president of customer services at William Raveis, who developed and manages the program. “We’re proud to have partnered with such highly respected companies. They were perfect fits for the program because of both the services they provide and their presence in the Northeast.”
Soil, Water and Air Technologies (SWAT) Environmental is the nation’s largest provider of radon reduction and vapor intrusion mitigation and remediation services. Since opening their doors in 1988, SWAT Environmental’s team has corrected radon problems with 100% success.
“We’re so excited to be a part of this amazing program,” said Eric Schmitt, president of SWAT Environmental Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island and New Jersey. “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bill Gamelli from the early development stages of the Partner Program, and knowing how well respected William Raveis is, not only in Connecticut but throughout the Northeast, drove our decision to be so heavily involved.”
“The William Raveis Breast Cancer Fund Partner Program is a wonderful opportunity for us,” said Adam Neale, president of SWAT Environmental Massachusetts and New Hampshire. “I couldn’t be prouder that SWAT Environmental is one of their first partners.
