Drug and alcohol treatment nonprofit honoring three Long Islanders at annual luncheon

Three local community leaders will be recognized at Outreach’s 30th Annual Long Island Luncheon next month.

The event will be held at noon on Wednesday, June 5 at the Stonebridge Country Club in Smithtown.

Honored at the luncheon will be Jason Lipiec, executive vice president and Long Island regional president of M&T Bank; John Guadagno, president of IBEW Local 24; and Robyn Fellrath, Long Island regional director of the Workforce Development Institute, who will be receiving the John Brower, Jr. Award in memory of a young man who died of an overdose and whose family has since helped Outreach raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in his name for addiction treatment services and awareness.

“We’re forever thankful to our three extraordinary 2024 honorees. Their support of our mission and pledge to become part of the fight to help people struggling with addiction has helped us build stronger and healthier communities across Long Island,” said Debra Pantin, president and CEO of Outreach. “We’re so grateful for the dedication, time, and effort they put into this lifesaving work.”

Outreach is a nonprofit providing drug and alcohol treatment services and training programs at 10 residential and outpatient locations on Long Island. The agency operates Integrated Opioid Treatment Program, offering medication assisted treatment at Pilgrim State Psychiatric Center, and later this year will open its first residential program for transitional-aged youth between the ages of 18 and 25 in Brentwood.

All event proceeds will enable Outreach to continue to enhance its array of varied programs and services across Long Island.

Tickets for the luncheon start at $300 with table, sponsorship, and underwriting opportunities also available. To purchase a ticket, become a sponsor or to make a donation, please click here, or contact Marsha Radulov at [email protected], or call (718) 847-9233.
