Giving Back, Giving Together: Focused on Local Impact

Since the program began in 2015, C&N teammates have raised over $750,000 and collected over 42,000 essential items for local food banks, emergency services, children, military service members, and more. This year's focus is clear - supporting cancer patients in their toughest fight.

Real Support for Real People
Whether it's helping cover treatment costs for those without insurance, providing transportation to appointments, or delivering care packages to brighten a tough day, the money raised goes where it's needed most - right here in the community.

"It's one thing to raise money, but it's another to know that every dollar is helping someone who lives just down the street," said Blair T. Rush, EVP & Region President in Bucks County, PA area. "We're proud of what we've done so far, but there's still more work ahead, and we're determined to get there."

"It is gratifying to know that every dollar raised will touch the lives of our neighbors" commented Blair T. Rush, EVP & Southeast Region President.
