LATICRETE participated in a Multiple Sclerosis charity walk on April 22 in West Haven, CT, a process which started out with the firm supporting one of its own employee's long-term efforts in combating the illness.
Alicia Palimeri, Senior Buyer at LATICRETE, has been participating in the MS Walk for nearly two decades, and has consistently received financial pledges from LATICRETE in her pursuit to raise money and awareness in fighting MS. She first became involved with this cause when a family member was diagnosed with it. After a few years of participating in the walk, Palmieri was hired by LATICRETE and shortly thereafter, one of her co-workers was stricken with the illness. “It is amazing just how many people are affected by this disease,” said Palimeri. “I have had family members, co-workers and vendors that unfortunately were diagnosed with MS.”
