(Courtesy of WJCS) Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS) will be honoring WJCS Board President Mariquita Blumberg and New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins on April 5, at the Brae Burn Country Club in Purchase, New York, and online, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Pam Eisinger Zaslav will give a special introduction for the senator.

Proceeds from the gala will be used to support programs that serve 20,000 Westchester residents each year, of all ages and backgrounds, who face struggles relating to mental health; trauma; disability; aging; and developmental, educational and social problems affecting children and youth.

“We are delighted and honored to salute Mariquita Blumberg and NYS Senator Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins at our 2022 WJCS Gala,” said WJCS CEO Seth Diamond. “Every day Mariquita and Senator Stewart-Cousins demonstrate the power of commitment and the power of the individual to create positive change. It is only because of individuals like Mariquita and the senator that WJCS can offer 80+ programs, both in-person and virtually, to ensure that no Westchester resident needs to struggle alone. We are here to support the community and we are so proud to have such stellar honorees who represent the best of our community.”
