ATLANTA, Nov. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MedShare
International's Northeast Regional Council held its fifth annual
"Share the Good Gala" on Nov. 9 and
honored Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC) for its
outstanding humanitarian partnership with MedShare in Sierra Leone.
MedShare is a humanitarian aid organization that sources and
distributes essential surplus medical supplies and equipment to
underserved communities in 96 countries around the world. The
Northeast Regional Council was organized by Sandy Tytel to bring Medshare's mission to
New York City's dynamic,
international community.
Anadarko was instrumental in providing financial and logistics
support to send seven shipments of medical supplies and equipment
to key hospitals in areas where the company operated. It also
provided generous financial support specifically for MedShare's
work in stemming the spread of the Ebola virus.
"Anadarko has been an extremely supportive partner of Medshare
and, in doing so, has again demonstrated its concern for all the
people in the countries around the world in which it conducts
business," said Sandy Tytel,
Medshare Board of Trustee member and Northeast Regional Council
Chair. "We are grateful to work with a company that practices good
citizenship worldwide and displays its commitment to social good
time and time again."
"It was a privilege to partner with MedShare in making a
meaningful difference during a critical time of need for people in
Sierra Leone," said Anadarko
Country Manager Bernie Sanger. "All
of us can appreciate having someone there when we need help, and
it's reassuring to know we can work with a non-profit organization
like MedShare to make a powerful difference in the lives of so many
people."
