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 is a proud sponsor of the Richmond Public Schools Education Foundation which supports the MARSS Program.
Bell is the plumbing subcontractor on the Simons Center for the Arts renovation project at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina. Bell's team at the Simon Center is led by Carlton Hitchcock, Project Manager. The General Contractor is the Whiting-Turner Contracting Company and the project was designed by Liollio Architecture and HGA Design Firm.
