CDM Smith Makes Charitable Donation to Engineers Without Borders and Alzheimer's Association through Company Wellness Program 

BOSTON, Mass­a­chu­setts – Steve Hickox, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CDM Smith and Tim Wall, President and Chief Operating Officer presented checks for $25,000 each to Engineers Without Borders (EWB) and Alzheimer’s Association.  Repre­sen­ta­tives from both orga­ni­za­tions attended the check presen­ta­tion ceremony at the firm’s Boston head­quar­ters on May 8, 2017.

These donations were made possible by CDM Smith employees, spouses and partners who participate in the firm’s wellness program. The program − which focuses on both wellness and preventive care − tracks and rewards employees for healthy behaviors and accom­plish­ments. Employees completed health risk assessments, received preventive care, partic­i­pated in athletic events and exercise classes, managed their stress, practiced financial wellness and changed or tracked other behaviors that contribute to their overall wellbeing. Through these efforts, partic­i­pants accumulated millions of points required to make these donations possible. The firm sets a quarterly points goal for partic­i­pants to strive for, resulting in charitable donations such as these, which recognizes charities that reflect our emphasis on social respon­si­bil­ity and health related causes.

EWB-USA is a nonprofit human­i­tar­ian orga­ni­za­tion established to build a better world through engineering projects that empower communities to meet their basic human needs and equip leaders to solve the world’s most pressing challenges.
