CBC Community Profile

Capitol Broadcasting Company believes one of our greatest responsibilities is supporting our community. CBC’s Community Profile is a new monthly feature on the Web – a way to inform our employees and the public about the work of area non-profits, and their volunteer opportunities and needs.

For September 2007, the CBC Community Profile revisits the American Heart Association. In October, the American Heart Association will sponsor it's annual Start! Triangle Heart Walk and CBC is playing a major role in helping make the event a success.
