This year’s Annual Anniversary Celebration was once again held virtually to keep our clients and supporters safe. With an on-line program full of warm acceptances, inspiring videos, live chat and fun slide show, our program participants, their families and employers, as well as our supporters and staff, cheered each other’s success.
While this year’s event looked different than our usual in-person events, the joy we shared from recognizing our honorees and supporters remained unchanged and we delighted in seeing our clients so proud of their accomplishments.
For the 17th consecutive year, PepsiCo EnAble was the Premier Sponsor, with CVS Health as Supreme Sponsor. KTS Pooled Trust joined as a new Major Sponsor. Curry Automotive and Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano were Supporting Sponsors.
Contributing Sponsors include: Croonquist Group, Hart Vida & Partners, James Quinn Painting, Karen Brown, Kitson Law Firm, LEXCO Wealth Management, New York-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital, ShopRite Supermarkets, and Unitex Textile Rental Services. Awards of Appreciation were given to CAREERS’ corporate and foundation supporters, including the Field Hall Foundation and Gina Manzino.
“Our Annual Anniversary Celebration is our favorite night of the year as we honor nearly 200 of our clients for their work successes,” CAREERS Executive Director Tina Cornish-Lauria said.
“CAREERS remained open during the entire pandemic as we helped 73 essential employees stay safely on the job while keeping all our staff employed. We assisted hundreds of others through the changed landscape of employment to prepare them for new opportunities,” she added.
