Approximately 80 staff members of Marsh and Guy Carpenter volunteered on Friday [Nov 8] to make various improvements to the Sunshine League’s property in Hamilton.

Since 2010, Marsh and Guy Carpenter colleagues in Bermuda have set aside a day for a company-wide volunteer initiative.

For this year’s Community Giving Day, colleagues painted the social service organisation’s building exterior and creating an outdoor sitting area and play space.

In addition, colleagues planted winter crops in the Healthy Harvest sustainable garden, which is maintained by The Sunshine League through a partnership with Greenrock.

“We are delighted that our employees continue to embrace Community Giving Day and the mix of projects this year makes for a fun and gratifying day,” said David Ezekiel, Bermuda Chairman of Marsh & McLennan Companies.

“There are many children and families that depend on the services of The Sunshine League and we hope that our contribution today will assist the organisation in continuing to reach its goals.”

The Sunshine League has been in Bermuda for more than 90 years. While the organisation recently has transitioned out of residential foster care, the facility and grounds are still used for a variety of children’s causes, such as a life-skills summer camp and gardening for Tomorrow’s Voices children who have autism and other childhood developmental disorders.

“We were thrilled when Marsh and Guy Carpenter approached us with the idea of working together,” said S. Glenn Faries, MD, Managing Director, The Sunshine League.

“While we are no longer a residential facility, we are still committed to supporting Bermuda’s children and their families. The work that’s being done today at the property and in the sustainable garden is a key component in fulfilling our vision.”

“Our work at Marsh & McLennan Companies touches business, industry, society and people worldwide and as such, we are committed to doing business in a responsible way,” said Christine Salerno, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Marsh & McLennan Companies.

“I am pleased to be in Bermuda to participate in this year’s Community Giving Day, and I am proud of the employees here who have embraced our philosophy of giving back to the communities in which we operate.”

Marsh, the global leader in insurance broking and risk management, and Guy Carpenter, a leading global risk and reinsurance specialist, are operating companies of Marsh & McLennan Companies.
