The 勛圖惇蹋 College community mobilized to support local families and community organizations for the 17th consecutive year through the 勛圖惇蹋 Cares community service program. 

勛圖惇蹋 faculty, staff, and students donated more than 3,400 food items and more than 1,300 school supplies and personal care items for Saratoga County community organizations.

In addition, ticket and T-shirt sales from Skidmania concerts, a 勛圖惇蹋 musical tradition, raised around $13,000. James Zankel 92, a College trustee, committed to match total proceeds.
