10th Annual Shred Event Benefits “Pay It Forward” Movement

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Financial Services held their 10th Annual Shred Event on Saturday, June 12 outside of their offices in the Fingerpaint parking lot at 18 Division St. 

Saratoga Financial Services partnered with the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce, Confidata, Fingerpaint, and the Saratoga Business Journal to put on this event. Shredding is a safe way to dispose of old documents and confidential files; all paper was shredded, baled, and shipped to local paper mills to be recycled for reuse. 

The event was free of charge, but monetary donations were accepted to benefit the local Act With Respect Always program to help spread the “pay it forward movement.” Several AWRA students helped throughout the event, and over $700 was donated to the foundation.
