Family Services thanks contributors to awards dinner
Dear People editor: On April 25, over 350 friends and supporters attended Family Services’ Family of the Year Awards Dinner at the Grandview in Poughkeepsie.
For almost 30 years, this noteworthy event has recognized and honored individuals and families who have made significant contributions to the community and whose ideals reflect those of Family Services by providing hope, improving lives and strengthening community. This year, we were pleased to honor the Arnoff Family with the Quality of Life Award and the Rossi Family with the Good Neighbor Award.
The Family of the Year Awards Dinner is our agency’s signature event, serving as a major fundraiser for Family Services, but, more importantly, as a means to raise awareness and educate the community about its many programs. Family Services, in strong collaboration with community partners, provides programs and services throughout the Hudson Valley such as: Behavioral Health Centers, Youth Services, Family Programs, Victim Services, Prevention, Community Safety and the Family Partnership Center; all designed to strengthen individuals, families and community.
We extend heartfelt thanks to presenting sponsor, Health Quest; mission partner, iHeart Media; and gold sponsors, Arnoff Moving and Storage, Drake Creative, Eastdale Village, Feldman, Kleidman, Coffey & Sappe Attorneys at Law, Marshall & Sterling Insurance, and Rhinebeck Bank. We thank the many businesses, organizations and individuals who supported the Family of the Year Awards Dinner through sponsorship, ticket and ad purchases and donations. Together, we are creating a community where everyone has the opportunity to lead their best lives.
We appreciate all who enable Family Services to continue its legacy of 140 years of providing hope, improving lives and strengthening community. On behalf of the Family Services Board of Directors, staff, and clients we thank you. BRIAN DOYLE
