Funds Raised for U.S. Veterans Suffering Mental Trauma and Brain Injury

Lexington, MA, July 28, 2015 – For the 6th straight year, Daymark employees supported “Run to Home Base” an event committed to helping veterans suffering from mental trauma and brain injuries. This year’s event took place on July 25th.

The annual event, dedicated to healing the “invisible wounds of war,” consists of a 9k route through the streets of Boston with the finish line at home plate in historic Fenway Park. All funds are donated to New England veterans and their families affected by combat stress and traumatic brain injury. Over 2000 people participated in this year’s event, which raised over $1.5 million, and this year, ‘Team Daymark’ was 22 members strong.

"I am sure those who had the chance to meet some of the veterans who were there on Saturday, and listen to the keynote from a returning veteran, understand why this is such an important and impactful cause. It is so easy to get caught up in our own little worlds and forget about those that have given so much for our freedom and opportunity here in the USA,"  said Brian Casey, General Manager and COO at Daymark. “Each year our commitment and fundraising increases. To date, our team has raised over $50,000 for this worthy cause thanks to the generosity of our employees, friends, suppliers and partners.” Anyone wishing to donate can do by visiting the Team Daymark Donation Page.

Lexington, MA, July 22, 2015 - Daymark Solutions, a leading integration and solution provider of information technology in New England, today announced its support and participation in the 2015 Young Faces of ALS (YFALS) Boston Corntoss Challenge. The event will take place on August 8, 2015 in Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA.

Created by people living with ALS who were diagnosed before their 35th birthday, the Young Faces of ALS (YFALS) campaign is the first community for young people afflicted by ALS, as well as their families and friends. YFALS has become a catalyst for accelerating research at the ALS Therapy Development Institute through fundraising events.

YFALS hits close to home for Daymark Senior Consultant, Mike O’Connor, whose close friend, Pete Frates, was diagnosed with YFALS a little over three years ago at the age of 27. “Captain of the Boston College baseball team, Pete was a stellar athlete,” said O’Connor. “I will never forget the day I got that call. His diagnosis hit me like a ton of bricks.”

Awareness of the disease is critical. ALS is in desperate need for additional funding. Raising awareness is key to increasing individual donations as well as government funding. Last year’s Facebook global phenomenon “Ice Bucket Challenge” was a tremendous step toward that goal. Pete was instrumental in getting high-profile athletes, including Tom Brady, to participate.

Pete’s supportive family and dedicated friends have been a great source of strength. “Pete and his family are amazing. They have taken on this disease with grace and passion and have recently founded the Frates ALS Research and Support Fund,” added O’Connor. The Fund was created to carry on Frates’ mission to raise awareness and assist in discovering a treatment and a cure for ALS. Donations to the fund can be made here. 

For the second year, the Daymark ice cream truck will be at Technology Square to raise funds for the event. “We are proud to support such a worthy cause,” said Tim Donovan, Daymark’s President. “We hope the Daymark ice cream truck will be a big draw to help raise funds for the courageous young people like Pete Frates dealing with ALS.”

About the Corntoss Challenge 

Since 2011, the YFALS National Corntoss Challenge has successfully brought Corntoss enthusiasts along with ALS patients and their families, friends, and supporters together for a fun-filled day of Corntoss and good company to achieve one goal: end ALS. Every dollar supports the Young Faces of ALS (YFALS) campaign, benefiting research at the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS.net). More infomration on the August 8^th event can be found at the Boston YFALS Corntoss Challenge Facebook page.

Lexington, MA July 16, 2015 - The Daymark ice cream truck is on a roll again this summer and after a makeover this past winter, it’s better than ever! The Daymark ice cream truck is a real customer favorite sharing frozen treats at company offices and corporate events all over New England. The truck is in high demand, so now is the time to call your Daymark contact to schedule a visit.

History of the Daymark Ice Cream Truck

Why does Daymark have an ice cream truck? Two years ago Corey Roberts, Daymark Director of Technology, who also moonlights as part of a NASCAR pit crew, saw an old ice cream truck for sale. It was in rough shape, but Corey had a vision that together with the help of fellow “Daymarkians” they could turn the ugly duckling into a swan. And that’s just what they did! Rallying 18 fellow employees, they clocked over 2500+ man-hours to refurbish the truck, working several weekends to get it ready to roll (literally) for some summer fun.

Lexington, MA, July 9, 2015 – At Daymark we follow the "work hard - play hard" approach, and last week Daymarkians got to enjoy a day on the ocean during our 14th Annual Daymark Fishing Trip in Gloucester.

The trip was an opportunity to have some fun, practice our team-building skills, as well as promote some healthy inter-company competition. Employees were divided into six teams and prizes were awarded for the first fish caught, the most fish caught, and the largest fish caught.

The competition was fierce, and everyone gave it their all, but at the end of the day, Team Connemara Bay took home the top two prizes, bagging the first fish and largest fish of the day, a 37.5 inch striper. Team Bounty Hunter took home the prize for most fish by changing up their strategy and going after haddock. When it was all said in done, Team Bounty Hunter netted a total of 27 haddock!

After an exciting day at sea, The Justin Beech Duo set the tone for the evening with some great covers from the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Who, and Steely Dan. The clam bake was delicious and the company was even better. 

While this was an employee appreciation event, we’re always looking to take our customers and prospects fishing off Gloucester. Whether you love to fish, or are looking to experience deep-sea fishing for the first time, we’d love to take you out for the day.

Sound like fun? Great! Click here and we’ll contact you.
