The Springbrook Foundation is proud to announce that the 2025 Founders Award will be presented to Dr. Gerald “Jerry” Pondolfino at our annual Evening of Music at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City on November 10th.
The Founders Award honors an individual whose commitment, generosity, and passion embody the very heart of Springbrook’s mission—supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live their fullest lives. Dr. Pondolfino’s journey with Springbrook began as a devoted parent advocating for his sons, Zachary and Scott. His dedication has become a lasting legacy of leadership and generosity, helping shape our organization's future.
This unforgettable evening—filled with inspiring conversation, beautiful performances by Springbrook parents Carmit Zori and Robert Rinehart, and special guest Todd Phillips—is not only a celebration, but also a fundraiser supporting vital Springbrook programs.
In 2024, the event raised over $70,000 for Springbrook Special Olympics. This year, proceeds will help support our new Wellness Clinic, continuing our mission to provide holistic care and opportunity to all we serve.
Join us in celebrating Jerry’s incredible impact and the spirit of community that makes Springbrook thrive.
