American Marconi Wireless News - Konica Minolta Raises $300,000 for Pediatric Cancer Research

RAMSEY, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / October 9, 2025 / Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta) proudly hosted its first-ever company led charity event, bringing together employees, dealer partners and vendors to raise $300,000 in support of Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation's Tackle Kids Cancer (TKC) program. The event took place at the renowned Griffin & Howe at Hudson Farm, a premier sporting estate in Andover, New Jersey, and marked a powerful commitment to corporate citizenship and community impact.

The timing carried special significance as September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and 2025 also marked the 10^th anniversary of Tackle Kids Cancer - making the cause a natural partner for Konica Minolta's inaugural event. Proceeds will directly advance pediatric cancer research and patient care at Hackensack Meridian Health's two children's hospitals: Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital in Hackensack, New Jersey and K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital in Neptune, New Jersey.

At Konica Minolta, we know that true impact happens when people come together with passion and purpose," said Sam Errigo, President and CEO, Konica Minolta. "The $300,000 we raised for our very first company organized charity event reflects the heart of our employees, the generosity of our dealer network and vendor partners and the collective belief that every child deserves hope, healing and a future. This is only the beginning of what we intend to build as a lasting tradition of giving back and I could not be prouder of what we accomplished together."

The day featured clay shooting activities, raffles and a live auction, culminating in a collective donation presented to Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation. Eli Manning, TKC team captain and two-time Super Bowl champion also joined the celebration, reinforcing the impact that community partnerships can have in the fight against pediatric cancer.

"Konica Minolta's inaugural event set a remarkable standard," said Joyce P. Hendricks, President and Chief Development Officer, Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation. "To raise $300,000 in their very first year shows the depth of commitment from their employees, partners and leadership. This generosity will help us expand clinical trials, provide critical resources and deliver compassionate care to the children and families who inspire us every day. We are truly grateful for their partnership."

Konica Minolta intends to make the event an annual tradition, continuing to strengthen its impact and support for children and families battling pediatric cancer.
