GARRISON, N.Y. - June 4, 2014 - PRLog -- (Garrison, NY—June 4, 2014) On Thursday, May 29th, the Friars, Staff, Alumni and Benefactors of St. Christopher’s Inn (SCI) celebrated their 10th Annual Board of Directors Dinner at Gotham Hall, an architectural landmark in New York City.  More than 230 guests joined Charles H. Townsend, CEO of Condé Nast, a past Honoree, and Honorary event chair to celebrate the many lives that have been saved and restored by the good work at the Inn, located at Graymoor, the “Holy Mountain” in Garrison, New York.

Supporters enjoyed a short film highlighting the recently opened Brothers Christopher House in White Plains, the first St. Christopher’s Inn transitional house, followed by the personal story of Kyle L.  This graduate of St. Christopher’s Inn lives in Florida and works in the field of addiction and recovery.  He applies what he learned at SCI to help others find their way to a life free from addiction.  The evening was capped by the presentation of awards to this year’s Honorees, John F. Flaherty, senior partner of Gibney, Anthony & Flaherty, LLP, and Joe Piscopo, actor, comedian and entertainer who ended the night by singing Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York.”  Ken Rosato, morning anchor for WABC-TV Channel 7 Eyewitness News NewYork, served as the Master of Ceremonies for the evening.

Fr. Bill Drobach, President & CEO of St. Christopher’s Inn, said, “We are so grateful for our many supporters, alumni and our Board for the ongoing help they give to the men in recovery who come through our programs.  It is a blessing to have such caring individuals willing to share their resources and talents to help those suffering from addiction and homelessness.”
