The Steuben Senior Services Fund, Inc. welcomed supporters from across the region to the Corning Museum of Glass on Sunday for its annual Bubbly & Brunch, a celebration of community, generosity, and the shared commitment to improving the lives of older adults throughout Steuben County.
The event featured a celebratory brunch, sparkling beverages, auctions, and inspiring stories highlighting the impact of the Full Circle America Aging in Place Program. Proceeds from the event will help older adults remain safe, independent, and connected while continuing to live in their own homes and communities.
A highlight of the afternoon was the recognition of several individuals whose dedication has helped make the event a success.
The inaugural Doyle Award was presented to Mike Doyle in recognition of his outstanding support in helping make the first five Bubbly & Brunch events possible. The award was accepted on his behalf by Pamela Doyle Gee. The Doyle Award will become an annual honor recognizing an individual or organization whose contributions have played a significant role in the success and growth of the Bubbly & Brunch fundraiser.
The Steuben Senior Services Fund also recognized Bill and Mary Hallinan as the event’s honorary co-chairs for their continued support and commitment to serving older adults in the community.
Additional recognition was given to Diane Marshall and Donna Chiaramonte, who served as event co-chairs, along with Hildreth Volonts, who was honored for her leadership in organizing and guiding the event.
The afternoon was led by Linda M. Tetor, Executive Director of the Steuben Senior Services Fund, whose leadership helped make the event another memorable success.
The Steuben Senior Services Fund extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, and supported this year’s Bubbly & Brunch. Their continued generosity directly strengthens programs that enhance the quality of life for older adults across Steuben County.
