This October, supporting breast cancer research is as easy as buying paint. Throughout the month, for every gallon of premium paint sold at Aboff’s Paint stores and online at aboffs.com, the company will generously donate a portion of the proceeds to support breast cancer research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL).
The original Aboff’s Paints Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign raised over $10,000 for CSHL breast cancer research in 2012. In 2023, the two Long Island institutions renewed their partnership and raised over $40,000.
“Breast cancer awareness is near and dear to all of us here at Aboff’s,” said Aboff’s Paints owner and CSHL Corporate Advisory Board member Matthew Aboff. “We are delighted to renew our partnership with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for October 2024 and hope to make this year’s campaign our most successful yet.”
Family-owned and operated, Aboff’s Paints has been proudly serving Long Island and the New York region for 95 years. The knowledgeable team of paint experts leverage decades of experience, and with 32 convenient locations across Long Island, they’re on hand to accommodate any residential, commercial, or industrial painting project.
For more information, contact Shayna Bowles at Aboff’s Paints (sbowles@aboffs.com; 631-4272008 ext. 153) or Sarah Kitt at CSHL (kitt@cshl. edu; 516-367-6808).
Legislator Tom Donnelly Joins Spangle Drive Seniors For Fall Picnic
Suffolk Legislator Tom Donnelly (D-Deer Park) recently joined senior citizens in the Town of Babylon at the Spangle Drive Senior Center’s Fall Picnic. Held in North Babylon on Thursday, September 26, the event is one of the regular celebrations put on by the center and is always a festive and exciting day for Babylon seniors.
Under the current direction of Carolyn Epifane, Spangle Drive Senior Center was founded in 1972 as the first of the now six senior centers in the Town of Babylon. As with all of the centers, it serves as a recreation, socialization and information resource for local residents. This year’s Fall Picnic, moved indoors due to weather, did not stop senior citizens from enjoying good food, games and music.
“It’s always a pleasure to spend time with our senior community, and the fall picnic at Spangle Drive was a wonderful opportunity to join in celebrating the changing season,” said Legislator Donnelly. “Center Director Carolyn Epifane and her entire staff always do a great job planning and executing programs that keep our seniors active and engaged and this event was no exception. We owe them our thanks everyday!
