| Thank you to all that supported and generously gave to our 2024 Annual Summer Gala. What a memorable night it was! First and foremost, we would like to thank our incredible honorees, Martin Efron, Executive Vice President, Head of Factoring, White Oak Commercial Finace, LLC and Esther Lainis, Senior Vice President, U.S. Bank – for their support of QCP’s enriching programs and their leadership and guidance for this year’s event. We are also filled with gratitude to have had such generous sponsors and committee members who made this year’s Annual Gala and National Red Rose Day celebration possible.
To our 175 plus guests, we are so grateful you could celebrate and make a meaningful impact with us – THANK YOU! Many thanks to QCP’s special guests – Fr. James O’Shea, C.P. (Provincial of the Passionists Ministry at Immaculate Conception Monastery – Jamaica Estates) for administering his invocation; 2019 Annual Gala Man of the Year Doug Meyer and 2022 Woman of the Year Abby Parsonnet for “passing the baton” and presenting our honorees with this year’s awards; our supportive and dedicated QCP staff members, families and volunteers whose ongoing help with our fundraising events does not go unnoticed; Boomerang for providing upbeat music and 1 Taal Entertainment Tassa Drummers for the lively atmosphere. We want you to know how grateful we are for your support and for playing an imperative role in this important fund-raiser. It is through your concern and support that we are able to improve the quality of life of more than 1,200 individuals who come to QCP for support and provide them with the resources they need to live their best lives!
