Friends, family, volunteers and staff joined together to celebrate TRA’s awardees at the Coliseum restaurant in White Plains. The awardees were recognized for the impact they have on TRA’s Mission of providing free non-emergency medical rides, advocacy, and resources for older adults (60+) and adults with a disability.
We honored partners and volunteers who keep us moving forward. PKF O’Connor Davies received the Corporate Partner Award, Arleen Zuckerman, a long-term volunteer and Board President received the Board Leadership Award. Alan Dindas, a veteran volunteer driver whose compassion and friendliness makes every journey a journey of care received the Volunteer Service Award.
