WCK uses the power of food to support global communities in emergency situations, and with CDM Smith’s donation of $25,000, they will continue this important work. 

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is on a mission to solve the previously unsolvable.

They are saving lives, breaking impactful boundaries, discovering cutting-edge solutions and advancing pediatric healthcare. CDM Smith’s donation of $15,000 will help CHOP provide exceptional patient care and empower clinicians and researchers to think and act boldly.

National Multiple Sclerosis Society drives promising research to treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and ultimately find a cure. In addition to accelerating research, the society advocates to lower treatment costs and works to empower those affected to live their best lives. With CDM Smith’s donation of $10,000, National MS Society will continue to fund research, raise awareness and ensure voices of the community are heard where it matters most.
