This award ceremony follows CareOne's first installment of awards on April 24 in the amount of $500,000 and its initial donation to employees to provide relief during the December holidays.  This total included $30,000 to community-based relief funds: $15,000 each to the Hope For Highlands and Middletown Disaster Relief Fund.
