- Vineyard Crafts Rose' to Support Foundation
Priam Vineyards in Colchester is one of the many businesses who have partnered with Backus Hospital to help raise funds and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. They have created Blackledge Rosé in support of the Backus Breast Cancer Survivors Fund and 15% of the proceeds will be contributed to the fund. Blackledge Rose' will be available for purchase at the winery.
Gloria Priam, who founded the vineyards with her husband, Gary Crump, in 1998, said she is happy to be able to support the Backus Breast Health Initiatives. “I have several close relatives who have recently finished bouts of chemotherapy and radiation from breast cancer and at least two of my friends have lost their lives to breast cancer, so this hits very close to home,” she said.
Hospital President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas P. Pipicelli is grateful to all of the supporters of the Breast Health Initiatives, many of whom—like Priam, the Hard Rock Café at Foxwoods and the Connecticut Sun—developed creative ways of raising funds and awareness. “Your support makes our hospital stronger, and helps make our programs and services possible,”he said.
