Congratulations to Our Honorees!

First and foremost, congratulations to all of this year’s honorees — your hard work and dedication have truly earned this recognition! If this is your first time attending, get ready for an exciting and inspiring event. We’re thrilled to share that nearly 40 Chambers and their honorees will be joining us this year — an outstanding turnout!

Special Highlights

🎶 National Anthem Performance

We are delighted to announce that Kayla Knight, Miss Wantagh 2014, will be performing the Star-Spangled Banner. Despite her busy schedule, I recently had the pleasure of meeting Kayla in person at last week’s Toys for Tots Kick-Off event (see photo below). She is an absolute delight — thank you, Kayla, for sharing your talent with us!

🎤 Keynote Speaker

Our keynote speaker this year is Laura Bonelli, President of LifeVac, based in Nesconset, Long Island. Many of you are already familiar with LifeVac — an incredible life-saving device that has made a real difference across the world. I first met Laura at a Glen Cove Chamber meeting last year, where she gave a powerful and engaging talk. She’s a dynamic speaker and a truly kind person. We’re honored to have her join us — thank you, Laura!

💛 Breakfast Charity Partner

We’re also proud to announce that this year’s Breakfast Charity Partner is our friends at Island Harvest Food Bank. President and CEO Randi Shubin-Dresner — who hails from East Meadow — will be joining us to share updates on their incredible efforts fighting hunger across Long Island. Thank you, Randi, and the entire Island Harvest team, for your ongoing work in our community.
