AMHH Awards Honor PFY and PFY Supporters

On Sunday, April 18th, Pride for Youth was the proud recipient of the Auntie M’s Helping Hands 2010 Community Service Award for Outstanding GLBT Organization. The award recognizes PFY’s vital role in the community and pioneering work to address the fear and isolation of LGBT adolescents. Each year Auntie M’s Helping Hands, Inc. (AMHH, INC.), a 501c(3) not-for-profit, is dedicated to helping others. Through their fundraising events, sponsorships and donations, both to organizations and individuals, many lives have changed for the better. LICC’s Associate Executive Director Andy Peters and PFY Director Pete Carney accepted the award at a luncheon reception held at Guy Anthony’s Buon Appetito in Merrick. PFY thanks AMHH for the honor and support. Two other Community Service Awards were bestowed on individuals who have been part of PFY’s circle of support. Nick Montalbano, who volunteers at the Coffeehouse, received Male Volunteer of the Year. Laura Ruhl, who is a member of PFY’s Advisory Board, received Female Volunteer of the Year. Congratulations Nick and Laura!!
