About this Event
We hope that you will save the date for our annual holiday reception and award ceremony. To change things up this year, we will be holding the reception in New York City.
We use this time every year to thank our friends, families, supporters, and donors. Every year we recognize special individuals and organizations with our four awards:
The Eugene and Ruth Freedman Leadership Award
The Herbert and Carolyn Metzger Service Award
The Michael “Mick” Yauger Point Man Award
The Lou Lowenkron Commitment to Veterans Excellence Award
Please Save the Date and we look forward to another successful event. Watch for more information and announcements.
