This year’s Journeys of Care celebration will honor two outstanding individuals for their volunteer service, Arleen Zuckerman and Alan Dindas, as well as TRA’s outstanding corporate partner PKF O’Connor Davies, who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to TRA’s mission and made meaningful contributions to the community.

“Our annual fundraiser is a celebration of compassion in motion,” shares Rose Cappa-Rotunno, TRA Board Secretary and Chair of the Development & Marketing Committee. “Every volunteer driver, sponsor, and supporter plays a role in helping our neighbors live with dignity and independence. The work TRA does truly changes lives; not only for the people we serve, but also for those of us who are fortunate to be part of this mission. This event is an opportunity to come together in gratitude and recognize the community that makes every ride possible.”
