“One of the most cherished traditions at the University of Connecticut is HuskyTHON, a completely student-run philanthropic effort to raise money for the Connecticut Children’s Hospital. The tradition touches all aspects of student life. CDM Smith has provided a great opportunity to be able to give back to such an important and personal cause,” said Dennison. “I don’t think I can fully process the impact this donation will have because of a T-shirt I designed. This is about giving back in a way that I never believed would be possible, and from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who supported my design.”
With a strong culture of giving back and uplifting those in need, hundreds of CDM Smith employees from around the world purchased T-shirts to contribute to the Connecticut Children’s Foundation’s mission and show their support for the firm’s award-winning internship program.
“The CDM Smith community exemplifies what it means to give back, something that is central to our culture. The care for collective success and a passion to find the solutions to get us there is the type of work that can serve as an inspiration to all of us, and I am especially thrilled to see how our efforts to give back at CDM Smith are embraced by our interns and employees around the globe,” said Carlos Echalar, Chief Human Resources Officer.
