“Heart diseases or strokes have or will affect all of us at some point – ourselves, family or friends – and we appreciate and rely upon community efforts that can provide awareness and vital funding to support additional activities towards a healthier community and saving more lives,” said Marc J. Natale, Executive Director of the American Heart Association for the Rochester and Buffalo Regions. “For several years, ConServe has been an organization that engages its workforce in giving back to their community in very meaningful ways.

About ConServe’s Jeans For Charity Program

ConServe’s Jeans For Charity program provides its employees with the option of participating in monthly charitable donations in exchange for wearing jeans to work. In this way, employees are provided with the opportunity to “give back” to their local communities by donating to a diverse group of organizations throughout the year. Even more generosity is shared through the organization’s “Matching Gift Program” whereupon corporate funds match all employee donations. This ongoing initiative symbolizes ConServe’s commitment to its corporate mission of helping to improve the human condition.

About Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ABVI)

ABVI was founded in 1911 and is an affiliate organization of Goodwill of the Finger Lakes. ABVI is the only provider of comprehensive vision rehabilitation services for people of all ages who are blind or visually impaired in Rochester and the Finger Lakes region. ABVI’s mission is to prepare and empower people who are blind or visually impaired to be self-sufficient and contribute to their families and communities. At ABVI, the belief is that even though each person experiences vision loss differently, an individual can be as independent as they want to be after a diagnosis of visual impairment.
