Bonnie Dayan Memorial Award
In 2008, one of our friends and most enthusiastic supporters passed away after a valiant battle with cancer. Bonnie
Dayan, Owner and Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Triangle Printers, was instrumental in not only strengthening
her own company as a company that cares but also identifying other like-minded employers. She also
encouraged companies to adopt practices that would benefit their employees, their families, and the community-at-large.
To honor Bonnie, Center for Companies That Care established the annual Bonnie Dayan Memorial Award to recognize an
Honor Roll employee who, like Bonnie did, works to improve the well-being of individuals, families and communities in
his/her daily business practices and encourages others to do the same.
