DANVERS, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CCC, a pioneer in voluntary collective licensing and leading information solutions provider, held its annual ‘We Not Me’ global volunteering event as part of a year-round charity initiative about demonstrating the power of individual action to build community and support the common good.
CCC US-based staff collaborated with colleagues in various parts of the country including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Oregon, Washington, and California, serving meals, enhancing green spaces, and building affordable homes.

For every team member who participated, CCC is donating to hospice organizations in their communities, including the annual Care Dimensions Walk for Hospice.
