PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany Police Athletic League (PAL) hosted Nonprofit Power Day on Thursday, October 8, bringing together nonprofit leaders, community organizations, and local professionals for an afternoon of education and networking.
The event was held at the PAL facility on Baldwin Road and was organized in partnership with Ion Bank, the Ion Bank Foundation, and Metro MSP.
Sessions focused on challenges facing nonprofit organizations, including grant funding, organizational sustainability, cybersecurity, leadership development, and long-term resilience.
Featured speakers were Bob Michie of Metro MSP, Dennis Miller of Dennis C. Miller, and Todd Smith of Todd Smith Consulting. Each shared strategies to help nonprofits strengthen their operations and better serve their communities.
The idea for the event came from Andrew Karpinecz, Relationship Manager at Ion Bank, who coordinated the program with the PAL and its partners.
“Events like Nonprofit Power Day represent exactly what we are working to accomplish at the Parsippany PAL,” said Nicholas Bronzino, Executive Director of the Parsippany Police Athletic League. “Our mission extends beyond athletics and youth programming. We want to be a place where community organizations, nonprofits, and local leaders can come together, build relationships, and support one another. I want to personally thank Andrew Karpinecz and our partners at Ion Bank for bringing this vision to life. We’re proud to have hosted this event and look forward to building on its success.”
Parsippany-Troy Hills Mayor Pulkit Desai also attended the event.
In addition to the presentations, attendees enjoyed lunch, networking, and raffle giveaways.
The PAL and its partners are already exploring plans for another event to continue offering educational and networking opportunities for nonprofit organizations in the region.
“Strong communities are built through strong partnerships,” Bronzino added. “This is just the beginning. We want the Parsippany PAL to continue serving as a hub for collaboration, innovation, and opportunities that benefit our entire community.”
The Parsippany Police Athletic League is located on Baldwin Road in Parsippany.
