Community Involvement

Mark and Christopher both participated in "No Shave November" this past year, supporting the North Haven Police Department in their goal to raise money for cancer patients. After not shaving for the month, the office donated to the CT Cancer Foundation where 100% of the proceeds go to CT cancer patients.

The funds raised benefit the CCF Cancer Patient Assistance Program to provide assistance to Connecticut cancer patients in support of their basic needs: rent/mortgage, utilities and food.
