Marsh and Guy Carpenter made a donation of 101 holiday boxes worth nearly $10,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bermuda [BBBS], a mentoring programme that supports children and youth primarily from single parent homes.
For a second consecutive year, Jahan Cedenio coordinated the companies’ Big Shoe Box Giveaway in which employees donated and decorated shoe boxes filled with gifts for 101 children in BBBS.
Each shoe box included a fun treat, school supplies, toiletries and other basic necessities. Guy Carpenter employee Rikki Hornet dressed in a Santa Claus outfit to deliver the boxes to the children.
