During the giving season, Spectrum is trying to do its part to help local communities.

Spectrum is donating $2,500 to the Schenectady Boys and Girls Club. The money will help the BGC with its programs for Schenectady's youth.

Schenectady Mayor Gary McCarthy was on hand for the check presentation and thanked the company of its role in the community.

"I know it is appreciated by the staff, the members here, and from the city's perspective," McCarthy said, "we're just thankful to have Spectrum as a great community citizen."

Charter Communications is the parent company of Spectrum and Spectrum News.
