September 11: Honoring the Memory Through Service

| No Comments

Harlem Children's ZoneIn support of the first federally recognized 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, GSK was invited to partner with My Good Deed, the Children's Health Fund and New York Cares to share our employees' time and talents on volunteer projects in recognition of this historic day.

Today, Deirdre Connelly, President of North America Pharmaceuticals, will join fellow GSK employees from New York, New Jersey; Pennsylvania and North Carolina will volunteer for a variety of projects in New York City.   

 

I just arrived at the Harlem Children's Zone, where we are participating in an education event on the H1N1 virus.  GSK volunteers will be speaking to nearly 1,000 students at the Promise Academy.  We're instructing students at "education stations" to teach about viruses, the flu, hand washing and flu prevention.

 

The program starts soon, and then we're off to the A. Phillip Randolph School, also  in Harlem.  More to come!
