Carol Conroy got so caught up in the spirit of the Cool Kids 5K last year, she brought eight colleagues to this year’s 19th annual fundraiser.

Volunteers from Borislow Insurance in Methuen, MA walked, ran or pushed wheelchairs to benefit kids at New England Pediatric Care in N. Billerica, MA. They also served up water, hot dogs and balloons and did “anything that needed to be done” on May 20th.

When Carol joined Borislow last year, she had already been providing benefits solutions to NEPC for about 14 years. Initially she was overwhelmed to learn how many fragile children needed to be cared for “but then I wanted to help.”

Over the years Carol has attended many NEPC Holiday Fairs and involved her three sons (now 21, 16 and 14) as volunteers. “It’s a great experience for a family to help others,” she said. The annual prom at NEPC was especially emotional for Carol and her husband, “because we saw how much it meant to the residents and families to take part in this rite of passage.”

Every month Borislow’s Charitable Giving Committee addresses a need in nearby communities. Projects have included filling children’s backpacks with supplies, serving meals at shelters and making monetary donations. So when Carol proposed getting involved with NEPC, Borislow employees eagerly donated their time and five luxurious raffle baskets. “People need to look outside themselves to appreciate how wonderful their own lives are, and how much more complete they will be if they do something for someone else,” Carol said.
