CHICAGO, IL - MagView VP of Sales and Marketing Jon Morris announced today that it will partner to support Recovery on Water as part of this quarters "random act of kindness" program. "Recovery on Water is a unique program that allows breast cancer survivors to show that they can beat this disease not only mentally, but physically as well," said Morris. "We saw this as a natural partner and are proud to support this program".
MagView began the random act of kindness program in January 2010. Each quarter a manager finds a way to promote kindness and to help other individuals and groups. "We all need to realize that we are very fortunate to be in a position to help others and it is our responsibility to do what we can to make sure we look for opportunities to help those in need," added Morris. Many individual acts have been performed this year including assisting veterans, the homeless and several charitable organizations. "Our Great Lakes Regional Manager Gretchen Kelley first brought Recovery on Water to our attention. Kelley was a collegiate rower at the University of Kansas and had contacts within the organization," said Morris.
Recovery on Water began as a collaboration between Sue Ann Glaser, an Evanston breast cancer survivor, and Jenn Gibbons, a rowing coach at Ignatius Chicago Crew (ICC). Jenn enlisted ICC student volunteers to attend practices to help lift boats and assist while receiving community service hours for their time at practice. She began hosting weekly practices in the winter months of 2007, and the first group of women began practicing on the water in the spring of 2008.
