The Long Island chapter of the American Cancer Society has received $1,000 as part of an innovative National Breast Cancer Awareness Month program from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) in the names of Susan Ganz and Elena Germani of the Center for Wealth Preservation. The women, whose firm (www.cwpmetro.com) is based in Syosset, New York, recently conducted an informative financial seminar geared toward women.

The efforts are part of a MassMutual program that makes charitable contributions to breast cancer awareness programs in the names of its local agents who work extensively with women’s groups and women clients. Under the program, MassMutual uses its educational financial seminars for women to also raise awareness of breast cancer.
