The Hub Pen Company of Braintree, Massachusetts announced it has responded to the tragic situation in the Sichuan Province of China by raising $10,700 for the earthquake relief effort. Hub Pen Employees were moved by the news of the massive earthquake and the devastating loss of lives and banded together to raise funds to help the victims of the national disaster in China.
Many of Hub’s workers have family, friends or acquaintances whose lives were terribly affected by this natural disaster. Hub Pen depends upon China for much of its raw product and they have business partners throughout China. Along with the donation, Hub Pen has forwarded a photo of the entire company to the Chinese Embassy in Washington. Hub Pen employees are shown in the photo holding a sign which reads in both Chinese and English:
“It is with great sadness and deep sympathy that Hub Pen Company has watched the Sichuan earthquake tragedy these past weeks. All of Hub Pen Company sends you this message of support with the knowledge that the strength and tenacity of the Chinese people will prevail over this devastating natural disaster.”
