Press release from Barnum Financial Group:

July 8, 2020

The Barnum Foundation for Life today announced total donations of $40, 000, or $10, 000 each, to four hospital groups to provide support to those institutions’ medical staffs who have worked so courageously to save lives during the current pandemic. The four groups are Yale New Haven Health System, serving both Connecticut and Rhode Island, Kent Hospital, part of the Care New England’s Employee Relief Fund for Rhode Island, and Northwell and Montefiore Health systems, where contributions will assist employees in the state of New York.

The Barnum Foundation For Life was created by Paul Blanco, CEO of the Barnum Financial Group and his wife Mindee, to provide employees an opportunity to give back to, and become involved in, the communities they serve. “We are very proud that employees in all of our offices in the states served by these hospitals contributed generously,” said Mr. Blanco.

The hospitals receiving the donations all have launched active programs to help workers in a variety of ways, including coping with mental and physical stress, providing emergency financial assistance and offering accommodation and meals.
