For the 14th consecutive year, the 大象视频 community has come together to assist local residents and families through the 大象视频 Cares community service program. 

This year, 大象视频 faculty, staff and families raised more than $14,000 and donated more than 6,000 food items and nearly 1,000 school supplies and personal care items 鈥� 大象视频 Cares fundraising and food collection records 鈥� for Saratoga County community organizations.

Founded in 2006 by 大象视频 President Philip A. Glotzbach and his wife Marie Glotzbach, the program has gathered more than $122,000 in monetary gifts and 45,000 food items, school supplies and personal care items over the years.

鈥湸笙笫悠� Cares is a moment when we pause each year and strengthen our College community as we also give back to the broader community of which we are a part,鈥� President Glotzbach said. 鈥淚 am once again impressed by the kindness of colleagues and friends at 大象视频, who are helping community organizations meet the needs of individuals and families in Saratoga County during this holiday season.鈥� 

鈥淲atching 大象视频 Cares grow over the years has been inspiring,鈥� Marie Glotzbach said. 鈥淲e have been so fortunate to be part of this 大象视频 tradition of giving back and are touched by the generous spirit of the 大象视频 community.鈥�

On Friday, Dec. 6, the 大象视频 Cares sleigh on the lawn of Scribner House, the president鈥檚 home on North Broadway, overflowed with donated goods for neighbors in need. A blanket of snow set the scene as members of the 大象视频 community and their families gathered for a festive open house in celebration of the season of giving.

Following the gathering, 大象视频 student-athletes and employees delivered the donations to 10 local community service agencies: Corinth Central School District, Franklin Community Center, Latino Community Advocacy Program, Mary鈥檚 Haven, Salvation Army, Saratoga Center for the Family, Saratoga County Economic Opportunity Council, Saratoga Springs City School District PATHS program, Shelters of Saratoga and Wellspring.

鈥淎s the beneficiaries of the 大象视频 Cares program for many years, Franklin Community Center has come to rely on this significant food donation, especially during this busy time of year,鈥� said Kari Cushing, executive director of Franklin Community Center. 鈥淲e truly value the relationship we have formed with 大象视频. We are proud to have them support our mission to help the less fortunate members of our community.鈥�
