In September of 2018, the AAA Hamden office found out that their beloved co-worker, Brendan Coughlin, was suffering from pancreatic cancer. On December 7, Coughlin passed away.
In honor of the regional director who they regard as, "One of the kindest men they had ever met," some of his co-workers joined Project Purple's Steps For a Cure event in Norwalk, CT as "Team Coughlin." With contributions from AAA corporate offices, the team raised close to $1,500.
