Saratoga Economic Development Corp. Donates $3K

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Last week, the Saratoga Economic Development Corp. (SEDC) donated $3,000 to CAPTAIN Community Human Services, a nonprofit that has been combating hunger, homelessness, and economic crises in Saratoga County since 1977. 

The contribution is a portion of the proceeds from Chips and Canter, an event SEDC hosted at the Saratoga Race Course on Opening Day, July 11. 

“As we work to grow the Saratoga County economy, it is important to remember our neighbors who encounter struggles and need a helping hand. It is vitally important to create and maintain good jobs and support organizations like CAPTAIN CHS, which does so much to make our community a better place,” said Greg Connors, President and CEO of SEDC, in a statement.

“This donation will have an immediate positive impact on the lives of children, individuals, families, and senior citizens who are struggling, and provide much needed support to our 30+ programs and services,” said Andy Gilpin, executive director of CAPTAIN CHS.  

The SEDC is a private sector, nonprofit consulting firm established in 1978. The company serves as a resource for businesses and individuals considering an investment in Saratoga County.
