ALBANY, N.Y. — With October being National Breast Cancer Awareness month Capital Communications Credit Union has shown its support for the cause by not only being a flagship sponsor of the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" walk but by allowing its employees to volunteer for the Road to Recovery program through out the year.
The American Cancer Society's Road to Recovery program matches patients in need of a ride to and from their treatment with volunteers. Through its Capital Communications Cares Foundation, the credit union is one local business that allows staff to volunteer as drivers during the work day.
"My mom passed away about a year and a half ago from lung cancer while she was living in Florida and I wasn't there to drive her to and from her chemo treatments," said Terry Tufano, a Capital Communications employee that volunteers as a driver. "I volunteered for the Road to Recovery program because it makes me feel closer to my mom."
