SwisslogHealthcare raises funds for CCF
While researching online for new automation solution for
IV preparation, we found theChildren’sCancer Foundation
(CCF) as a suitable organisation to work with. The
Foundation’smission of improving the lives of childrenwith
cancer and their family strikes close to the heart of what we
do as an organisation, thus spurring Swisslog Healthcare
employees to takeaction.
The CCF fundraiser that was held from 1 May to 31 May
2017 was initiated by our Chief Executive Officer, Stephan
Sonderegger, who spent three years in Singapore. He first
made a donation to CCF
and local Swisslog Healthcare
employees followed suit, kicking off the SwisslogShares
community giving programme in Singapore, modeled after
a similar programme inNorthAmerica.
Swisslog Healthcare raised a total of
$2,000 for CCF. SwisslogShares is
part of SwisslogHealthcare’sCorporate
Social Responsibility programme, where
westrive tomakeadifference inourcommunities
by supportingemployees and social organisations.
Swisslog Healthcare applauds CCF’s efforts in
rehabilitating families and children recovering from
cancer. We hope this initial donation will aid CCF in
advancing its services for children and their families to
enjoy a better quality of life.
