Please join us in making a difference!
This year’s holiday celebrations at GRI, besides honoring our people and showing our gratitude for another fortunate year, we are highlighting a campaign to help Raines’ Army. Raines’ Army is a foundation created by our close business associates, the Simonsens, in honor of their son/grandson, Raines, who passed away last year at age 3 from brain cancer that began in his eyes. Raines spent his short life going through many invasive treatments, but managed to spread sunshine wherever he went, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who met him. Raines’ Army is not only raising funding for critical pediatric brain, spine and eye cancer research, but also supporting pediatric patients at Duke Hospital by collecting books, toys, games, etc.
You can read Raines’ story at this link: https://www.rainesarmy.com/
Donations are targeted for children from birth to age 18.

If anyone would like to contribute, please feel free drop off a donation at one of our offices (from the wish list and/or monetary).
