Keepsake for Cancer Research
The Foundation’s 2021 signature plush honors CAP COM’s longtime CEO, Paula Stopera. The honeybee keepsakes are on sale for $10 each at CAP COM branches, while supplies last starting October 1. Funds will go to the American Cancer Society for pancreatic cancer research. The purple bandana acknowledges the loved ones we have lost and those who continue to fight pancreatic cancer.
Honeybees are known to symbolize the sun, community, and celebration. They act as a reminder to be productive in our daily lives while giving back to the world in the best way possible. The honeybee is the perfect plush to honor Paula and her community advocacy.
CAP COM will also present a keepsake honeybee with a pink scarf to cancer survivors at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. It’s scheduled for October 17 in Albany’s Washington Park.
