McNamee Hosea Teal Appeal
McNamee Hosea recently had the privilege of participating in the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition Central (NOCC) Maryland Chapter’s 5K Run/3K Walk to break the silence on ovarian cancer on September 30, 2012. The firm came together as a whole in efforts to help our local community raise funds towards future research. Together, they formed the team “McNamee Hosea Teal Appeal”, lead by Pat Harris, wife of McNamee Hosea employee, Richard Weills. Pat was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 2 years ago. The Teal Appeal was able to raise $6,255 with the help of McNamee Hosea who matched all of their employees’ contributions. The event was a huge success and “McNamee Hosea Teal Appeal” ranked 4th out of over 90 teams for the contributions made to the NOCC. Along with an outpouring of contributions, there were a large number of participants either walking or running. Attorneys, staff, friends and family came together to run/walk in support of all those whose lives have been affected by ovarian cancer.
A few special highlights of the event included a special thank you from the NOCC during the opening ceremonies. Following the closing of the race/walk one of our partner’s daughters, Emily Schweitzer was awarded with the Third Place Medal in her age group. Congratulations to Emily!
This was a very special day for a great cause and McNamee Hosea is honored to be able to be a part, not only to give back to the community but to show our support for all of those who lost their battle and praise those fighting and congratulate those who have won.
