Crawford & Company (Canada) Inc. recognizes the importance
of supporting its community and is dedicated to giving back through
its charitable initiative, Crawford Cares. Each year, Crawford
employees organize and participate in fundraisers such as silent
auctions, charity barbecues, casual Fridays and optional payroll
deductions, all benefitting Crawford Cares.
Each year Crawford Employees choose one or two charities to benefit
from the funds they raise. Since 2004, The Women in Insurance
Cancer Crusade (WICC) has been chosen as the charity of choice.
Since then, Crawford Cares has raised over $325,000 for WICC. In
2010, SickKids hospital was also recently selected as a charity of
choice for Crawford Cares.
Crawford & Company (Canada) Inc. is proud to have been a
WICC National Sponsor since 2004. We applaud WICC and the P&C
industry's dedication to the eradication of this terrible
disease.
About WICC
WICC was established in 1996 to mobilize the Canadian insurance
industry in the fight against cancer by focusing on cancer
research, support and education. Not only is WICC dedicated to
raising funds for cancer research, WICC also provides educational
forums for the industry on how to support those affected by the
disease. Please visit their web site at www.wicc.ca for more

Relay for Life
In 2009, Crawford added the Relay for Life to its list of employee
events. This 12-hour, overnight walk organized by the Canadian
Cancer Society brings people together to remember and celebrate
those touched by cancer as they work towards finding a cure.
Since then, the even has grown every year. "Our success with
Crawford Cares is amazing and it is all due to our employees' hard
work, dedication and persistence," said Crawford & Company
(Canada) Inc.'s CEO John Sharoun. "I would like to thank all of our
employees and clients who have supported us for their time,
generosity and commitment to this incredibly important cause that
touches us all."

Saturday in October and is an opportunity for hundreds of Crawford
employees from around the world to go out into their communities
and volunteer in a variety of ways. Here in Canada, events are held
