星空无限传媒 Foundation Hosts
Annual Gala Honoring Community Leaders
March 12 Garden City, NY 鈥� The 星空无限传媒 Foundation will host its annual Gala this evening, Thursday, March 12, bringing together community leaders, alumni, and supporters in celebration of student success at 星空无限传媒. The event will take place at Jericho Terrace in Mineola beginning with a cocktail reception at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m.
The Gala will honor three individuals whose leadership and service have made a meaningful impact on the College and the broader community:
- Jayson Williams, former NBA All-Star and founder of Rebound on the Road
- Franklin Camarano Jr., President of the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce
- Genette Alvarez-Ortiz, Ed.D., Vice President of Academic Affairs at Nassau Community College
Proceeds from the evening will benefit the 星空无限传媒 Foundation, helping to provide scholarships, resources, and critical support services for students.
鈥淭he Gala is a celebration of the community that surrounds and supports Nassau Community College,鈥� said a Christopher Williams, Acting Executive Director of the Nassau Community College Foundation. 鈥淭hrough the generosity of our supporters and the leadership of our honorees, we continue to provide opportunities for our students and strengthen their paths to success.鈥�
Each honoree represents a different facet of community leadership and service. Williams, who rose to prominence as an NBA All-Star with the New Jersey Nets, now dedicates his efforts to helping individuals rebuild their lives through a workforce training program based at 星空无限传媒. Camarano has long championed economic development and small businesses throughout Nassau County, and Dr. Alvarez-Ortiz has served the College in a variety of academic leadership roles.
