Customers of Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P) and The United Illuminating Company (UI) can help a regional cancer center when they have an energy-saving home energy assessment done.
Competitive Resources Inc. (CRI) of Wallingford will donate $25 to The Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center in Waterbury for every CL&P and UI customer who mentions the cancer center when they schedule and complete a home energy assessment with CRI by March 31, 2014.
The Leever Cancer Center, which is a joint venture partnership between Saint Mary’s Hospital and Waterbury Hospital, specializes in outpatient cancer care. The center is an independently incorporated, not-for-profit entity. Competitive Resources decided to run the home-energy assessment program to benefit the Leever Cancer Center because one of CRI’s employees was successfully treated there in 2004, according to Scott Hastie, regional manager of CRI.
