MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Sedgwick Claims Management
Services, Inc. (Sedgwick CMS) announced a gift today of $150,000 to
the Walter Reed Society, the private auxiliary support organization
for Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC). The gift will be used
by the Walter Reed Society's Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation
Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) Support Fund for assistance grants to
soldiers and the families of soldiers receiving treatment at WRAMC
for wounds received in Iraq, Afghanistan and related operations.
Sedgwick CMS colleagues (employees) raised approximately half of
the amount, and the Company matched their contribution. Sedgwick
CMS President and CEO David A. North and a delegation including
four Sedgwick CMS colleagues with recent service in OIF/OEF
presented the contribution to the Walter Reed Society today at a
ceremony at WRAMC in Washington, D.C. Major General (Ret) Enrique
Mendez, formerly Commander of WRAMC and Under Secretary of Defense
for Health Affairs and a past President of the Walter Reed Society,
accepted the gift on behalf of the organization. "The Walter Reed
Society performs outstanding and compassionate service through its
efforts to ease family burdens and speed healing for men and women
of our military who have made great sacrifices in the line of
duty," said North. "The Society helps facilitate healthy and
productive recoveries for wounded soldiers in all the areas of
their lives. I believe the people of Sedgwick CMS relate so
strongly to this mission because as a provider of disability and
workers' compensation services for ill and injured civilian
employees we are concerned with similar objectives. It is truly our
privilege to support our friends, family members and fellow
citizens in the armed services through today's gift." Information
