Dover Employees Volunteer at Phil’s Friends, an Organization that Supports Individuals and Families Impacted by Cancer

In the spirit of giving back during the holidays, a group of employees from Dover’s Finance and Accounting team came together to volunteer at Phil’s Friends in Addison, IL. Founded in 2005, Phil’s Friends is an organization dedicated to supporting hundreds of thousands of individuals and families across the U.S. impacted by cancer. Their mission revolves around providing care packages and weekly cards to those navigating the challenging journey that is brought about by cancer. 

During the event, the Dover team members assisted with decorating boxes and cards as well as boxing care packages with comforting items such as blankets, journals, hats, lip balm, lotion, cards, puzzle books and more. 

Additionally, a check on behalf of the Dover Foundation was presented for $1,500 to Phil's Friends after the event.
