Allen Insurance and Financial is pleased to announce its continued support for the Chemo Caps for Kids initiative sponsored by Commonwealth Cares Fund Inc., the 501(c)(3) charity founded by Allen’s Registered Investment Adviser–broker/dealer, Commonwealth Financial Network®. Chemo Caps for Kids provides hand-knit and crocheted hats to children undergoing cancer treatment.
Allen Insurance and Financial participates in the creation of these caps and invites the community to join the effort. Kimberly Edgar of Allen’s Camden office is coordinating the program locally.
Many of the Midcoast knitters who have helped have remained anonymous, so we can’t thank them publicly, said Edgar. But we can reach out to the knitting community, always so generous, and let them know we’d love their continued support. “
Anyone interested in donating yarn or knitting time to this project can call Kimberly Edgar at 236-4311. Allen Insurance and Financial has been involved in this program since 2014.
The Chemo Caps for Kids program has sent more than 10,000 caps to children’s hospitals across the U.S., with knitters in Maine and across the country using their talents to help kids who are in treatment. Some of hats from Maine have been distributed to hospitals in New England as well as to places such as Phoenix Children’s Hospital and the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
