(Boston, MA) – August 3, 2016 – To celebrate their partnership and dedication of the staff, RCN Boston’s Ice Cream Truck broke the heat with a visit to Dana Farber Cancer Institute to deliver frozen treats to approximately 1,000 caregivers, volunteers and patients on Tuesday, July 26. The visit from the ice cream truck continues RCN Boston’s commitment to bringing cheer to various nonprofits throughout the summer months.

“The visit to Dana Farber from the RCN Ice Cream Truck was a small token of our appreciation for the tremendous work that happens every day at this world class medical facility,” said Jeff Carlson, Senior Vice President and General Manager of RCN Boston. “RCN is thankful to the caregivers and volunteers of Dana Farber whose hard work and dedication to their patients are second to none.”
