The Theresa Awards is an annual event to recognize the outstanding efforts of those individuals who go above and beyond in helping and advocating for those with special needs. The Awards are presented at the Annual Theresa Awards Dinner held on the Friday evening closest to Theresa’s birthday. This is the Foundation’s main fundraiser of the year which enables the Foundation to fund programs locally and nationally in music, dance, art, and recreation. Funds raised also support Theresa’s Fun Place, a fully-accessible playground with completely adaptive equipment at the Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau campus in Roosevelt, NY.
Thank you to all who participated in the 25th Annual Dinner Dance. It could not have been as successful without you.
