Mr. and Mrs. Robert G. Burton, Sr. of Greenwich present Belinda Benincasa, Executive Director of the Greenwich-based Breast Cancer Alliance, with a check for $50,000.00 to help kick off the organization's 15th anniversary. Their gift will be used to provide free mammograms for underserved women in Fairfield County. Mr. Burton, currently Chairman and CEO of Cenveo, Inc. of Stamford, was one of the first Breast Cancer Alliance corporate sponsors when he was Chairman and CEO of World Color Press, Inc. He was also an early member of the Alliance's Advisory Board, from 1998-2000. Paula Burton was co-chairman of the Breast Cancer Alliance Annual Benefit Luncheon in 2000 and served on the Board of Directors from 2001-2003.
"The Alliance thanks the Burton family for their gracious gift and their long-term commitment to our organization. It is through contributions from supporters like them that we can continue to improve the care, treatment and prognosis for women with breast cancer in and around our community," said Margaret Sinclair, President of the Breast Cancer Alliance.
Mr. Burton has worked tirelessly over the years supporting national and Connecticut-area charitable and educational efforts with more than $30 million in contributions. In addition to his role on the Alliance Advisory Board, he was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Eagle Hill School and was a board member of Cancer Care of Connecticut. He has provided scholarships for graduating high school seniors in Greenwich and has endowed scholarship programs for student athletes at the University of Connecticut. He is responsible for the $2.5 million lead gift for the Burton Family Football Complex at the University of Connecticut.]
In Fairfield County, the Breast Cancer Alliance funds free mammograms for underserved women through programs at Greenwich Hospital, Norma F. Pfriem Breast Care Center at Bridgeport Hospital, St. Vincent’s Medical Center, and Stamford Hospital Foundation.
