CEDAR KNOLLS — This October, Employment Horizons hosted two fundraising events to support their programs and to recognize National Disability Employment Awareness Month. On Thursday, October 18, Employment Horizons celebrated 61 years of success at its Annual Recognition Dinner at Brooklake Country Club in Florham Park.
The dinner featured a 50/50 raffle, a basket auction, and a silent auction. All proceeds benefit the programs here at Employment Horizons. Angela Guy, Senior Vice President, Diversity & Inclusion at L’Oreal USA, served as Honorary Chair, and honorees Mayo Performing Arts Center for Employer of the Year; Kiehl’s Since 1851 for Fulfillment Customer of the Year; and Solix, Inc. for the Corporate Champion Award.
The President’s Award was awarded to Kevin White, an Employment Horizons program participant, and the William Huber Achievement Award was given to program participant Barbara Klien. Kevin has found success in his career at ShopRite, while Barbara has made a name for herself at Schindler Elevator Corp.
On Sunday, October 28, Employment Horizons secured Hanover Lanes in East Hanover to celebrate Halloween with the annual Halloween Bowl-A-Thon. Over 130 attendees enjoyed an afternoon of fun, food, and a costume contest, and raised funds to support employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
