Law firm donates to Project Purple fundraiser for pancreatic cancer
New Haven’s Faxon Law Group continued its yearly Bucket List Challenge campaign by donating $10,000 to Project Purple, a Seymour-based pancreatic cancer research and patient financial aid charity, and to Hartford’s Camp Courant, the oldest and largest free summer camp in the United States.
The trial law firm raised close to $60,000 in total for the two charities by collecting donations online and entering donors who contributed $100 or more into a raffle to win a bucket list trip to Kona, Hawaii.
According to Faxon Law Group’s website, the trip is valued at $10,000 and includes round trip airfare for two guests, a seven-night deluxe hotel stay, complimentary entries to the Kona Marathon and/or Family Fun Runs, a gift card for spending, and more.
The trip’s two lucky winners, Marisa and Paul Valentinetti, were thrilled to win after Marisa generously donated to Project Purple in honor of her mother who passed away from pancreatic cancer.
