FFB Long Island Affiliate Named Non-Profit of the Year

Considered the 'Academy Awards' of Business for the region, The Chamber of Commerce Regional Business Partnership's Business of the Year Award of Excellence is presented to businesses who have dedicated their efforts to achieving remarkable success, improving our quality of life and contributing to the overall economic development of the region - regardless of their size or location or membership within The Chamber. According to the Chamber, as non-competitive category, the selection committee each year identifies one organization that has positively impacted our region. This is always one of the most difficult categories because all non profits are so deserving.

Mitch Shapiro, who has been instrumental in the success of the Long Island Affiliate of The Foundation with events such as the Tug-A-Jet and the Blind Wine Tasting Gala, entered the nomination.

Hats off to everyone in the Long Island Affiliate!
