Utica, NY – The Resident Council’s Charitable Giving Committee has gotten together to choose the recipient of our annual charity fund drive. With the participation from over 70% of residents at Preswick Glen, the Charitable Giving Committee was able to donate $8,100 to the Neighborhood Center.
“We are honored to be this year’s recipient of the funds raised the $8,100.00 raised will be used to create “calming centers” for our classrooms.” Says Sandra Soroka, Executive Director of The Neighborhood Center. “These designated spaces will allow children the space to self-regulate when over stimulated. “
