HeartShare to host events each month to mark centennial
Stock Exchange bell ringing was opening round
When Bill Guarinello rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Dec. 19, it signaled more than just the start of trading on Wall Street for the day.
Guarinello, president and CEO of HeartShare Human Services of New York, was also signaling the start of a year-long celebration of the 100th anniversary of the non-profit social services organization.
HeartShare, which was founded in 1914, will host a series of monthly special events to celebrate its centennial in 2014, including a Kick-Off Reception in January. The events, which are listed on the agency’s website, heartshare.org, include a charity 5K run and a golf tournament.
The monthly festivities will be an addition to the agency’s roster of traditional annual fundraising events, including its Annual Spring Gala and Auction, officials said.
