Jawonio has Saturday Night Fever!!

This Saturday, October 19th, at The Paramount Country Club in New City, Jawonio will host their 48th Dinner Dance Gala.

"Get Down With Jawonio" is a premiere event where this year, Drs. Patricia Pollio and her husband Dr. Kirk Roberts will be honored for Community Service and Philip De Angelo and Focused Wealth Management will receive the Corporate Partner Award.

Jawonio CEO Jill Warner said, "This event is really fun, music and dancing go on until midnight, Paramount is a wonderful venue, and the best part is we are all there together as a community, as a family, in support of children and adults with special needs. We could not succeed without the support of our benefactors, journal sponsors and attendees; and we are so grateful to a generous community.
Warner concluded, "Families started Jawonio more than 65 years ago, and families continue to be the lifeblood of who we are and what we do."

Facing major budgetary challenges over the past few years, Jawonio has lost millions in funding for essential services they provide throughout the Hudson Valley.

More than 200 guests are expected to attend the Jawonio Foundation sponsored event.
