We are pleased to announce that our Community Relations Director, Julie Allegretti, has earned the prestigious Corporate Citizenship Award—Leadership Excellence from the Long Island Business News. This award honors companies and individuals who have consistently demonstrated community stewardship by building strong partnerships with nonprofit organizations dedicated to meeting the critical needs of our community. You can learn more about Julie and her commitment to giving back to the community here.

Participate in the Week of Giving and the Virtual Awards Celebration

The Long Island Business News (LIBN) has partnered with Triple Crown Charity fundraising to help participating Corporate Citizenship Awards honorees support their causes. Julie has chosen the Theresa Alessandra Russo Foundation (TARF), which fosters the unique abilities of children with special needs through direct support and programs focusing on art, music, dance, drama, and recreation.

You can help support TARF, or any of the participating charitable organizations, during LIBN’s Week of Giving. From September 14 – 18, a charity auction will raise money to be donated to participating Long Island charities.

On Tuesday, September 15th at 4:00 p.m., LIBN will host a virtual awards celebration honoring Julie and other Corporate Citizenship Award recipients. Don’t forget to tune in to this annual salute to the nonprofit leaders and their for-profit partners who are committed to giving back to our community.

We hope you participate in the Week of Giving. The pandemic and economic downturn have hit many local nonprofits hard. Your help is needed now more than ever. You can take part in the auction by clicking here.
