BLOOMINGBURG, NY (November 11, 2011) – The SullivanArc Foundation held their 20^th Annual Community Recognition Event on October 28 at The Eagle’s Nest in Bloomingburg.

The annual fund-raising event, which was attended by 140 guests, recognizes people and organizations that are involved in their community, while supporting people with developmental disabilities.

The "President’s Award" was awarded to Sullivan Renaissance, which has partnered with SullivanArc on the Sullivan County Garden Tour for three years, and has assisted SullivanArc with other projects through grants.

Sullivan Renaissance is known for the variety of grants that it distributes to enhance the appearance of Sullivan County.

One of the funding requirements is that each applicant considers how its proposal will be accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Glenn Pontier, Director of Sullivan Renaissance, accepted the award "on behalf of the staff, steering committee and the thousands of volunteers who make up Sullivan Renaissance."

SullivanArc is a non-profit organization that supplies support and services to over 850 people with developmental disabilities in Sullivan County.
