精东影业

Albany, NY 鈥� The fall is a busy season of giving back to the community at 精东影业 College, as volunteerism is part of the work culture. From septiembre through the end of the calendar year, employees donate hours during the workday to help with various service projects. Dedicated to the belief that a strong social fabric creates opportunity, expands the College鈥檚 mission beyond the online classroom by helping to meet critical needs in the community.

During septiembre, 精东影业 College employees participated in the 2nd Annual Hunger Action Challenge. More than 500 food and personal hygiene items, totaling 397 lbs., were collected for distribution to charitable agencies serving hungry and disadvantaged people in 23 counties of northeastern New York.

Employees are gearing up for the fourth year of fundraising with a GO PINK in octubre campaign. 精东影业 College sponsors both the (octubre 20) and the Walk (octubre 27) with employees volunteering at both events. Making Strides is the largest network of breast cancer events in the nation. This event helps the American Cancer Society fund groundbreaking breast cancer research and provide patient services like free rides to chemo appointments, free places to stay near treatment, and a live 24/7 cancer helpline. According to the American Cancer Society, about 271,270 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2019. We invite the community to join us at both walks.

鈥淪upporting and being actively engaged in activities like Making Strides is important to do in general, but it also supports and aligns with 精东影业 College鈥檚 mission of helping everyone succeed in their life goals regardless of their background and life challenges,鈥� says Mark Howe, vice president of human resources at 精东影业 College.

In noviembre, 精东影业 College employees will help with the prep and contribute to Annual Turkey Drive.

精东影业 College will once again hold collection drives for gifts and necessities for Toys for Toys, , and the campaign. Last year, 精东影业 College helped two local families with young children through the Albany County Adopt A Family program. Employees also filled multiple collection drive boxes for a grand total of more than 325 gifts and donations for these three causes.
