Yesterday, Bond attorney Dennis Schaeffer attended The Golisano Foundation event where it was announced that $360 million will be donated to 82 WNY organizations, including People Inc. Learn more below.

What a day! … People Inc. president and CEO Anne McCaffrey and Board Treasurer Dennis K. Schaeffer were on hand this morning when Tom Golisano announced $360 million in donations across upstate New York, including $5 million to People Inc.! We are incredibly grateful to be one of just a handful of agencies serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to receive a Golisano donation, which includes $1 million each year for five years. We will be rolling up our sleeves and formulating a thoughtful plan to maximize this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the thousands of people we support.

Anne says she was incredibly moved by a letter from Golisano and his quote, “The only wealth you get to keep is that which you give away.” We are so grateful to Mr. Golisano, and all our donors who embrace this philosophy.

Last week, Bond was recognized at the United Way of Central New York State of Caring Breakfast with this year's Impact Maker Award. As noted in the event's program, "Bond’s United Way campaign excels with 100% participation among associates and a leadership team that’s willing to go the extra mile to drive donations.”

Thank you to the United Way team, and we are looking forward to continuing our involvement with the organization this fall.
