DERBY - CED Technologies, Inc. of Shelton recently donated $3,500 to help area cancer patients receive exceptional care and provide financial relief to patients in need.

The donation will support the Annual 5K Walk/Run to benefit The Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital. 

The 2023 5K Walk/Run had a special tie to CED Technologies as the event’s inspirational survivor speaker, Girard Nilsen, is married to the company’s Client Service Manager Linda Nilsen. The event so inspired the Nilsens that Linda requested CED direct their annual fundraising efforts to the 5K Walk/Run.

For 15 years, the 5K Walk/Run has raised funds to provide exceptional, personalized cancer care and to help ease any financial burden Griffin’s cancer patients face as they undergo treatment.
