Welch Allyn (Skaneateles Falls, NY) recently sent over 400 employee volunteers to over 20 non-profit organizations across central New York as part of its new “A Show of Hands” corporate social responsibility (CSR) campaign. Another 200 employees were stationed at the company’s headquarters assembling international aid, school supply and homeless shelter care kits. The initiative is part of the company’s annual Beacon of Quality event, a designated date when local facilities are closed for the day to honor employees.

In recognition of the company’s 95th anniversary, Welch Allyn chose to forego its traditional employee recognition festivities in favor of giving back to the surrounding communities.
