Rounding out 2023 with our annual week of giving capped off a great year. Egan’s shareholders connected with local groups, nonprofits, and organizations in December with charitable donations to help positively impact the communities in which we live and work. From children’s hospitals and healthcare facilities to local food banks and everything in between, the following causes were selected by the Egan team as organizations that align with our purpose and values:
- Helping the research and advocacy efforts to mitigate some of the biggest threats Americans face through American Cancer Society and American Heart Association.
- Families who are going through hard times can still have a fun and memorable holiday season thanks to Best Christmas Ever.
- Life-changing heart diagnoses are treated with excellent care thanks to the team and research happening at Children’s Heart Clinic at Children’s Minnesota.
- State-of-the-art research and treatments are continually being delivered to children facing difficult illnesses. Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare and St Jude Children’s Research Hospital of Minnesota are there to treat patients and their families through it all. Egan Company chairman of the Board Duane Hendricks and his wife Linda made a personal donation to both of these organizations.
