U.K. P&I Club members, TT Club members and brokers, together with attorneys and industry experts, participated in the day in aid of Play for Pink, which supports the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Club members OEC, Seaboard Marine, RCCL, Disney, OSG, Bouchard Transportation, Harley Marine, Dunlap Towing, Phoenix Bulk and York Overseas all participated, along with an enthusiastic contingent of Brokers, Attorneys and industry experts from all over the US and from as far away as Venezuela and Panama.

The local New Jersey Devils Ice Hockey team were also represented and generously donated signed jerseys and hockey sticks for the raffle. Amongst raffle prize winners was Dan Tadros of Chaffe McCall, who won a 75" smart TV, sponsored by attorneys Lyons and Flood in New York and Gallagher Sharp in Detroit.

Hugo Wynn Williams, Chairman of Thomas Miller, attended the event and gave away the prizes at the dinner afterwards.

Mike Jarrett, President of Thomas Miller (Americas) Inc. commented: "Thomas Miller is determined to make its mark in all the communities in which it has offices around the world. We are delighted to see the maritime community come together to support our initiative to raise funds for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation."
