The MIL Corporation’s employees gather to participate in run that supports the Medical University of South Carolina’s (MUSC) Children’s Hospital
CHARLESTON, S.C.—December 29, 2010— Over 70 MIL Corporation (MIL) team runners gathered on the downtown streets of Charleston, S.C. on Dec. 4 to participate in the 20th annual Reindeer Run. The Reindeer Run is held to raise money for the Medical University of South Carolina’s (MUSC) Children’s Hospital.
MIL has participated in the Reindeer Run for the past five years as an exclusive sponsor.
“It really is important for us to demonstrate to our community—both at MIL and in greater Charleston—that MIL is a company that’s about more than just the work,” said Vice President, John Degni. “We believe in balance here, and lending a hand to the hospital ensures the health and well-being of our families and community is a key component in maintaining that healthy balance.”
MUSC Children’s Hospital is a place that proves to be close to the heart of MIL, as Systems Analyst Heather Teague shares a personal gratitude to the facility. Teague’s son, Connor, now four years old, was delivered at the hospital at 12 weeks old and barely 2 pounds.
“MUSC will always be near and dear to our family’s heart,” says Teague. “Our entire family runs this race every year. It is our way of giving back to the hospital who gave us such an incredible gift.”
The Reindeer Run boasted a grand total of 3,000 holiday clad runners for the 2010 event. MIL’s internal turnout for the run represented a five-fold increase over last year’s event. Committee chairperson and MIL Vice President Peg Kendra feels that this trend will only continue to grow.
“This year, we had a great committee who really got the word out,” said Kendra. “We support MUSC at a corporate level, but it was such a thrill to see how many people in the MIL family showed their individual enthusiasm as well.”
