Cummings Center is an asset to our community, and being here has been a great experience. We look forward to 20 more years!”

Cummings Properties also invited the nine firms to participate in Cummings Community Giving. This annual program allows each long-term client firm to select a local nonprofit organization to receive a $1,000 donation from Cummings Properties.

“This initiative is a way to directly involve our valued clients in the charitable works that are made possible by their leasing relationships with Cummings Properties,” said Cummings Center associate general manager Stephanie Aitchison. “We are delighted to support the causes that are most important to them.”

The majority of Cummings’ 10 million s/F of commercial space benefits Cummings Foundation, which has awarded more than $260 million to date in Greater Boston.

Velico Medical selected Lifebridge for its $1,000 contribution. Through locations in Beverly, Salem, and Gloucester, Lifebridge provides housing and supportive services to those in need in an effort to combat homelessness.

“What makes Cummings Center special is the highly responsive Cummings team, who have worked with our company and shown great flexibility as we have evolved,” said Velico president and CEO Bill Skillman about his firm’s long-standing tenancy. “Beverly is a great city to be in, and Cummings Center has everything we need – for both business and personal – in a single location.”

Cummings Properties has delivered 49 captain’s chairs to Beverly leasing clients and more than 90 chairs to businesses across its campuses. The Woburn-based firm will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year.
