Velan Helps Educate 60 Million Girls

The Velan name has long been synonymous with giving back to the community. The Velan family, the Velan Foundation, and the company itself have been frequent contributors to countless philanthropic projects.

In 2009, the Velan Foundation presented its prestigious award (valued at $20,000 annually) to a worthy Canadian recipient, Wanda Bedard, President of the 60 million girls foundation.

“It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to thank Velan for its most generous support of 60 million girls, which has gone a long way toward helping us fund our 2009 campaign projects: working with the Lenca aboriginals in Honduras and the Girl Child Network in Zimbabwe. Our team of volunteers invests hundreds of hours each year in supporting various causes. This recognition of our efforts and the ultimate worthiness of our projects goes a long way toward helping us keep up our energy and efforts year after year.”

said Wanda Bedard

As Tom Velan, President of Velan, states,

“We are fortunate to run a successful business, and we very much believe in passing our good fortune on to others whenever possible. Regardless of whether we’re acting as individuals or as corporate citizens, philanthropy is very much a way of life here at Velan.”
