Thank You! – Philanthropy Day 2010
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010On behalf of our Board of Directors and National Philanthropy Day Committee, thank you to those who spent time with the Association of Fundraising Professionals of Northeastern Pennsylvania Chapter (AFP NEPA) on National Philanthropy Day. It was truly a celebration of our community and philanthropy in action.
Our day was extraordinary because of the impact that our honorees have on our region. From the testimonials that highlighted Bob & Ginny Tambur’s unselfish generosity, to learning of the countless hours of dedication and commitment of the late Hank Belin as volunteer, to the tearful and then recomposed acceptance of 15 year old Lalitha Durlin with the Youth in Philanthropy Award, to the tremendous appreciation of the selfless life of Corky and Mike Bergman and legacy of the Bergman Foundation, to the commitment of time, talent and philanthropy of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, we really had a great celebration and left our luncheon with a great deal to be thankful for in our personal lives and in our community.
