“I always enjoy this time of year, because I am able to celebrate my father’s legacy with others he touched over the years,” said Quintin E. Primo III, PCWC Chairman.  “My father would be very proud to see how his vision has evolved from the after school program he created for neighborhood residents back in 1979.  Today, more than ever, people need places like the Primo Center.  It’s our job to continue to look forward like my father did to find solutions to help those in need.”
