HighRoads Helping Support Children’s Health Care and Low-Income Students During the Holiday Season

MassGeneral Hospital for Children and Nativity Prep Benefit from HighRoads’ Donations

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With the holidays in full swing, HighRoads, the industry leader in employer health care compliance and benefits management, is renewing its custom of supporting local schools, hospitals and charitable organizations in the Massachusetts region.

“It’s been a tough year for many Massachusetts families, with more than a quarter million people still unemployed with the holidays approaching. At HighRoads we are very fortunate for our continued growth and success and feel it is important to support our community in these challenging times”

Continuing a four-year tradition, HighRoads will be hosting the employee toy drive to benefit the families at the Center for Pediatric Hematology-Oncology at MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC). "Toy drives such as the one from HighRoads bring smiles, laughs, and happiness to the children receiving treatment on the Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Unit and spread the joy of the season to each of their families," said Caroline Armington, Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS), at MassGeneral Hospital for Children.

HighRoads is also continuing its commitment to donate funds to Nativity Prep, a Jesuit middle school, in honor of the hard work and support given the school by HighRoads Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, Paul Daoust.

Over the Thanksgiving season, HighRoads also donated funds to cover the cost of 5,000 meals distributed by the Greater Boston Food Bank.

“It’s been a tough year for many Massachusetts families, with more than a quarter million people still unemployed with the holidays approaching. At HighRoads we are very fortunate for our continued growth and success and feel it is important to support our community in these challenging times,” said Byers.
