Of course there is a back story.  Hartwell, along with Bill Allen, shaved his head in 2006 and promised to do so again upon retirement.  Rob followed in 2007.  Hartwell's agreement was based on a whim, wanting to do a good deed as he retired.  However, in August 2023 his 2 ½ year old grandson, Sal Cassata, was diagnosed with ALL, a form of Leukemia. Sal’s 9 year old brother Joseph will be shaving as well.  What began as a whim has now become extremely important.  While childhood leukemia is very treatable thanks to wonderful research, other forms of cancer are not.  Our goal is to raise $200,000 to help “Conquer Kids' Cancer.” We hope that many individuals, client companies and reinsurers will help us meet this lofty goal.

We hope you'll participate in the fund raising efforts, even if you were not able to attend our celebration and shaving event on February 15th. 

 Thanks for the support over these many years!
