The fundraiser will be an opportunity for the VNSW to showcase its work and present awards.
White Plains Hospital will receive the Community Leadership Award, accepted by Susan Fox, President & CEO. The hospital provides "exceptional healthcare to the community with expert physicians, highly trained staff and state-of-the-art equipment," said a release.
Mutual of America will receive the Distinguished Leadership Award, accepted by Brian Q. Severin, Executive Vice President.
The company "has a long tradition of corporate social responsibility, beginning with its founding as a provider of retirement plan services to the nonprofit sector," said a release. Employees participate in charitable activities and the company established the "Community Partnership Award" in 1996, to recognize and encourage partnerships among "public, private, and social sector organizations devoted to the public good."
