Thank You To Everyone Who Helped To Make
The New Visions Foundation's 6th Annual Springfest
Grant-A-Gift Gala A Tremendous Success!
Friday, June 4, 2010, more than 200 people attended the New Visions Foundation's 6th Annual Grant-A-Gift Gala celebration at the New Visions Center in Slingerlands, New York. The celebration, which included butlered Hors d'oeuvres, elegant carving stations, and open bar and a chocolate fountain, also featured a live and silent acution to benefit the programs, services and people with developmental and other disabilities served by New Visions.
Benita Zahn, Ne ws Anchor of WNYT News Channel 13, served as the event's emcee, and LeGrande Serras, Owner of Reel Seafood, was the evening's Celebrity Auctioneer. Mr. Serras has personally helped to raise over $11 million for Capital Region non-profit organizations, and once again lent his talents to the New Visions Foundation to make the Gala truly memorable.
This year's honorees included Senator Neil Breslin, recipient of the Civil Service Award, Shaker Ridge Country Club, recipient of the Community Service Award and Diane Mean, recipient of the Special Achievement Award. Congratulations to these award winners for their achievements. We are proud to have them as part of our community.
Now in its 6th year, the New Visions Foundation Gala event has become a premier event in the community, raising funds and awareness in support of New Visions work and mission on behalf of people with developmental and other disabilities. All pro ceeds from the annual Gala even help New Visions ensure continuing supports, services and opportunities for people who live, work and volunteer in our community.
All of us at New Visions would like to thank the following business owners and community leaders who participated in this year's event with the donations and volunteerism that make the success of the Gala possible - we couldn't have done i t without you!
