Finding support in American Cancer Society-led programs after his own diagnosis, Steinberg rallied his community of neighbors and friends to join Relay For Life, support breast cancer awareness through the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Westchester walk at Manhattanville College, supported distinguished events and advocacy efforts relating to cancer.
“The presentation of the Heart and Soul Award and the Evening of Hope event is just one more opportunity to say thank you to some of our area’s most dedicated business and community leaders as well as our top volunteers and fundraisers,” said Sarah McCannon, senior community manager for the Society in White Plains. “As a volunteer led organization we are always looking for new individuals to join us. From helping patients with everyday needs to leading community events to assisting with day-to-day office needs, our volunteers are the heart and soul of the American Cancer Society,” she said.
