Strides for Life Colon Cancer Foundation is committed to early prevention and detection of colon cancer. Through public education, screening programs and risk reduction programs, the orga­ni­za­tion aims to increase awareness of colon cancer among healthcare providers and the general population. Funded entirely through donations, the $25,000 contri­bu­tion from CDM Smith will greatly aid in their efforts to keep individuals safe and informed of colon cancer and its risks.

The American Diabetes Association’s mission is to prevent and cure diabetes. With CDM Smith’s donation of $20,000, the American Diabetes Association can continue to lead the fight against diabetes and all those affected by funding research, delivering services, providing and checking credible information and giving a voice to those socially and system­i­cally impaired by diabetes. 

CDM Smith’s Wellness Program rewards employees and their dependents for healthy behaviors and accom­plish­ments with the goal of a healthier, more productive, happy and focused workforce.

Since the Wellness Program’s start in 2017, employee partic­i­pa­tion has resulted in more than $1 million in charitable donations.
