This year, HCC, in coordination with The Defense Counsel of Rhode Island’s (DCRI) and the Defense Research Institute’s (DRI) International Day of Service, is proud to partner with the Gianna Cirella Memorial Fund to raise awareness for sepsis—a life-threatening condition that affects millions each year. In support of this important cause, we are wearing purple to help shine a light on the urgent need for education, research, and support. 

The Gianna Cirella Memorial Fund was established to advance sepsis research, promote public education, and provide assistance to children and families impacted by this devastating illness.

If you would like to contribute, any donation—no matter the size—can make a meaningful difference. To donate, please visit www.gistrong.org.

Thank you for your support and commitment to this vital cause.
