The Bell Company successfully out ran (and out walked) the sun in a race against Melanoma. With our sponsorship and employee participation, they were able to raise about $24,000 for skin cancer education and research. The funds raised by our community stay in our community and will be donated to the University of Rochester Medical Center to be used as Seed Grants for Melanoma research.
Bell is always proud and honored to support worthy causes especially ones that benefit our friends, family, and community but our involvement in Outrun the Sun comes from an unfortunate beginning. The Bell family lost a great man, a boss, a friend, a husband, and a father when we lost Tom Bell to Melanoma. Since then, his family has been involved with the fight against Melanoma and have helped to establish the Rochester Melanoma Action Chapter which brings awareness and education about Melanoma as well as raises funds in the Rochester area for medical research in the battle against this growing cancer. The Melanoma Action Group is a licensee of the national organization Outrun the Sun, Inc.
Bell was the mechanical and plumbing design assist subcontractor for the University of Virginia Health System’s new emergency department and inpatient bed tower. Located in Charlottesville, Virginia, this project was designed by Perkins and Will and built by Skanska.
As the mechanical and plumbing design-assist subcontractor, Bell is a vital partner in the efforts highlighted in the article, “University of Va. Accelerates Hospital Project to Meet COVID-19 Demand”, April 2, 2020, Engineering News-Record (ENR). Bell’s team at UVA Hospital Expansion Project is led by Phil Hull, Project Manager, and Monty Dickson, Project Superintendent. CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE…
