PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - June 19, 2008) - CommonHealth today announced that the
employees of Altum, a CommonHealth freestanding, full-service professional
advertising and promotion agency with global reach, spanning every
marketing discipline with a focus on specialty brands and markets, has made
a donation to support Happiness is Camping, a free summer camp for children
with cancer.
CommonHealth (www.commonhealth.com) is the world's leading
healthcare-communications network and a WPP (NASDAQ : WPPGY ) (www.wpp.com)
company.
Happiness is Camping (www.happinessiscamping.org), founded in 1980 and
located in Hardwick, New Jersey, serves children with cancer, ages 6 to 15,
and their siblings. About 400 children attend camp each summer. The
organization runs on contributions and volunteer services.
The team at Altum independently organized a recent, group-wide fundraiser
to show their support for the camp, ultimately raising enough money to
sponsor one child for the summer program at Happiness is Camping.
Nineteen contributors -- including corporations, local businesses, and
individuals -- gave items for the Tricky Tray fundraiser. Prizes up for
bidding included free services, gift baskets and gift cards.
CommonHealth comprises Altum, Carbon, CommonHealth London, CommonHealth
Paris, Conectics, Earthborn, EvoLogue, Ferguson, HLS, MBS/Vox, Noesis,
ProCom, Qi and Solara. The organization also maintains numerous
partnerships both within and outside of the WPP network of companies.
