Building a Better World

CCA members are among the kindest, most generous people around. Here, we celebrate their good deeds and labors of love:

Callanan Blood Drive Helps Restore Local Blood Banks

The folks at Callanan Industry’s Albany office rolled up their sleeves and together helped save an estimated 72 lives at their annual blood drive.

Blood donors help patients of all ages: accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, people with sickle cell disease, those battling cancer. In fact, The American Red Cross estimates that every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.

Atlas Stands Guard (and walks, too!) at Breast Cancer March

Atlas Security Services of Goshen spent a sunny October Sunday providing security to the tens of thousands of marchers at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, held at Woodbury Common.

The mission of Making Strides is to celebrate survivors and pay tributes to loved ones lost, all while raising awareness and funds. Proceeds to help the American Cancer Society fund breast cancer research and provide education and guidance to help prevent, find, treat and survive cancer.

The good people at Atlas donated their services during the event, helping to ensure that everyone stayed safe and enjoyed the day.

No one should face breast cancer alone. The American Cancer Society helpline provides information and support 24/7 at 800-227-2345.

Callanan Industries is a leading supplier of paving materials and construction services in New York, and the “Callanan Cares” program supports numerous causes through volunteer projects, fundraisers, financial and material donations, and awareness campaigns.

One pint of your healthy blood can save as many as three lives. For information on how your organization can host a blood drive, visit www.redcrossblood.org.
