Invitations are out, and everyone is invited to attend RotaCare’s Caregivers’ Ball to be held on Thursday, April 20, at the Inn at New Hyde Park. Festivities begin with cocktails at 6:30pm followed by dinner, 7:30pm.
Created in 1992 by Mineola-Garden City Rotary, RotaCare’s mission is to facilitate free health care for the relief of pain and suffering to those who have the most need and the least access to medical care.
Featured at the Ball will be the presentation of RotaCare’s Community Achievement Award to Garden City resident Michael Bingold, Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Retail and Client Development Officer of Flushing Bank. Mr. Bingold currently manages the Retail Bank, Ethnic Markets, Business Banking, Digital Banking and Marketing.
Additionally, the Congregation of the Infant Jesus Nursing Sisters of the Sick Poor, will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. Founded in Brooklyn in 1905 to serve those throughout Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island, its mission is closely aligned with that of RotaCare – to provide services to the sick and poor. The congregation has been a part of RotaCare since 1993.
To attend, become an underwriter/sponsor or purchase 50/50 tickets; or for more information, please visit: give.rotacareny.org/caregiversball.
