Be Like Brit Partners Raise $5000
Tuesday, June 12, 2012
Brit's Orphanage will open early next year and is named in honor of Britney Gengel, who tragically lost her life in the January 2010 earthquake while on a mission to serve the children of Haiti.
Be Like Brit, which was established by Britney's parents Len and Cherylann Gengel following her death, is in the process of constructing an orphanage in Grand Goave, Haiti, which will become home to 66 children.
Diane Giampa, senior vice president of marketing for the bank, said that Bay State Savings has been involved with Be Like Brit for more than a year. "We just fell in love with the whole idea," Giampa said. "We've supported their golf tournament, and their fashion show back in April.
"The Gengels have turned something so horrific into something that is doing so much good for so many people. They're creating jobs, there's the orphanage, and there will be an education piece as well," GIampa said.
