Our Impact

The Touch A Truck fundraiser is a family fun event with a serious purpose. Funds from this annual event are used to raise awareness and to support research at Albany Medical Center. Our goal is to educate the public on the Signs of Sepsis (SOS) by disseminating educational material. Check out our SOS card we are distributing to doctors offices and urgent care centers.
