All of our featured charities are nominated by WTG employees and are included in our donation matching program. Winslow Technology Group is honored by the opportunity to give back to our community.

Our focus charity for this quarter is The Dennis “DJ” Simmonds ’08 Memorial Scholarship Fund which was established to honor the memory of the late Dennis “DJ” Simmonds, Class of 2008. All proceeds will support scholarships for current Lasell College students.

A courageous member of the Boston Police Department, DJ was one of the officers involved in the Watertown shootout after the 2013 Boston Marathon, where he was injured. He passed away a year later.

DJ was a highly decorated police officer and was awarded a Top Cop award in Washington, DC, the Schroeder Brothers Memorial Medal as well as many commendations for his work with gang activity.

“It’s about keeping his memory alive,” DJ’s sister Nicole Simmonds said. In his memory, this fund can continue his vision and commitment to the Boston community.

Our focus charity for this quarter is the American Red Cross.

Whether living with the impacts of two deadly hurricanes just days apart in Florida, or the utter devastation in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Tennessee, people desperately need help. The Red Cross can’t do this alone. Please help by making a financial donation, an appointment to give blood or platelets, or signing up to become a volunteer by visiting redcross.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767). Financial donations to help people affected by Hurricanes Milton and Helene enable the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from these disasters.

Our focus charity for this quarter is Boston Children’s Hospital.

Created in 1997, Boston Children’s Hospital Trust is the philanthropic resource for Boston Children’s Hospital.

Their team works with individuals, families, foundations and corporations to advance the hospital’s patient care, research, medical training and community health initiatives. They’re also the faces behind many annual fundraising events, like the Mix 104.1 Cares for Kids Radiothon, Eversource Walk for Boston Children’s Hospital, Milagros para Niños Gala and many others.
