The trio assisted the New York Fire Department in responding to the high numbers of 911 calls.

With the onset of the pandemic it became clear that an in-person graduation would not go on as normal.

"I like to help others enjoy their time here on earth as well and I can only do that if I am involved in things. 我想说这是从在CCC的第一天开始的."
