Charles River Apparel Dunks for a Cure

Sharon, Massachusetts-based Charles River Apparel, a leading manufacturer of performance apparel, has donated proceeds from its Sept. 7 event where members of the management team, including president and owner Barry Lipsett, volunteered to be “dunked” for a cure by employees. The money raised from the event went to the Wellness Warriors, a non-profit paddling support team for men and women diagnosed with various types of cancer. The team includes more than 50 members who participate in a variety of dragon boat races on the east coast. The group is run entirely by volunteers with membership open to both cancer survivors and caregivers.
