* During October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Siemens locally sponsored the American Cancer Society's Philadelphia Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, where over 100 employees helped Siemens earn top company and fundraising honors, contributing more than $15,000 to the cause. In total, 191 Siemens employees across the US raised nearly $30,000 for continued breast cancer research through various walks, runs, and other-related activities.
* Also this season, over 700 Siemens Healthcare employees participated in the Sponsor-a-Child program through the Delaware Valley Children's Charity, sponsoring over 350 children-in-need with holiday gifts.
Other employee volunteer opportunities offered through the fall campaign included a Siemens Caring Hands-sponsored charity golf classic, the American Heart Association's Heart Walk for heart-healthy living, and assembling welcome bundles of needed items for infants, toddlers, and the elderly for Montgomery County, Pennsylvania's Visiting Nurses Association.

Teddy Bears Delivered to Paoli Hospital
This month, members of Siemens syngo Workflow team delivered over 100 stuffed animals to Paoli Hospital, Paoli, Pennsylvania, to help stockpile the healthcare organization's supply of teddy bears it hands out to children and elderly patients admitted through its emergency room. Dubbed 'A Bear for Every Child', the campaign was initiated by a group of Siemens employees who were seeking to replace their department's traditional holiday gift-giving exercise with something that would have a greater community impact. After contacting Paoli Hospital to determine what possible areas of giving existed, Siemens learned that the hospital's supply of bears was running low and required a donation to keep the tradition on track.
"The marvel of the Siemens Caring Hands volunteering efforts and donations is its power at both a personal and a corporate level," said Bob Holiday, Director of Development for the United Way of Chester County. "The overall campaign touches the hearts and minds of thousands of individuals, and the donors impact lives in communities across 46 of 50 states in the USA! It's truly a remarkable accomplishment."
