Today’s Helping Hero is Virginia-based planning and construction design firm, Dewberry. Their Richmond office didn’t want the holiday season to go by without giving back to their community. The office held a drive for our Heroes Bag and Backpacks. They collected toys and games for our heroes aged toddlers to teens. Drew Stahling, Staff Engineer, worked with our program coordinator, Anne-Randolph. She clued him in on the best items to give our childhood cancer heroes. Anne-Randolph said:

“Connor’s Heroes has been fortunate to work with many Richmond-area businesses who care about children as much as they do about their customers. When December rolled around, supplies for our Heroes Bags and Backpacks were low as we gave out close to 60 this year. Thanks to Dewberry, we are ready for the new year. We’re restocked for this year’s heroes!”

A new year means a new child diagnosed with cancer. A Connor’s Heroes Parent Totebag and Backpack is a lifeline to a family who just learned their child has cancer. If you work for a company who, like Dewberry, appreciates giving back to your community, you too can host a Heroes Bag and Backpack supply drive. Anne-Randolph is happy to help you.
