Aquinas Consulting not only cares about IT and Engineering staffing solutions, we care about our community. In each quarter of 2016 we are raising awareness and donating money to local charities that mean something special to us!
Our first quarter of 2016 is dedicated to Specs for Little Hero’s, located in Ellington, CT. Aquinas is collecting bottles and cans until the end of March and will be matching the funds resulting from the recycling efforts.
This charity has a clear and simple mission which is to purchase protective eyewear for kids affected by retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma is a rare childhood cancer of the eye that has 250-300 reported cases a year and often results in diminished sight or enucleation of the eye. These glasses are designed to protect the eyes from further injury. Children who suffer from this illness and are left with only one eye are 8 times more likely to injure or lose their other eye.
We at Aquinas want to spread the word about Specs for Little Hero’s and to remind all parents of newborn babies to remember their motto: “Know the glow!” If you see a white glare in your child’s retina when photographed, see your doctor immediately.
If you are interested in contributing to our donation for Specs for Little Heroes, please contact kbrooks@aquinasconsulting.com.
