CGS is committed to partnering with charitable organizations in all of the areas in which we are located throughout the world. Programs such as Spin for Hunger are even more important during the holiday season and as winter approaches."

This annual event is co-chaired by CGS employee Dana Trulis and it has raised more than $60,000 annually in the past. All funds raised will benefit St. Francis Food Pantries & Shelters, feeding clothing and counseling over 10,000 families in the New York area serving over 1.5 million meals a year.
