Community Involvement
At Clark & Lavey, we're dedicated to giving back to the many communities of Massachusetts and New Hampshire through charitable gifts and activities. In addition, we support many of our clients' charitable initiatives. Some of our contributions are listed below.
CIGNA 5K Road Race
Annually, Clark & Lavey Benefits Solutions assembles a team comprised of our staff, family members, and friends to help us participate in the CIGNA 5K Road Race. The CIGNA 5K is run every August, and is open to corporate teams, individual runners, walkers, and wheelchair entrants. Organizations of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to build teams to represent their companies. Last year (2004), proceeds from the race benefited Special Olympics New Hampshire.
MARGUERITE'S PLACE
Every year at Christmas the employees of Clark & Lavey adopt a family from Marguerite's Place of Nashua, New Hampshire. Marguerite's Place provides a temporary shelter for abused women and their children until they are able to get back on their feet. More information available at www.margueritesplace.org
Clark & Lavey receives a wish list of clothing and toys from a mother for her family. These children wouldn't get any presents at all for Christmas if it weren't for the Marguerite's Place program. It's a great joy for us to buy presents for the family each year and wrap them all up for delivery over the holidays to families in need of a happy holiday.
