LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. – Last Friday night, Community Services for Children held its 30th annual Gala and Donley Awards presentation, celebrating 45 years of CSC\u2019s monumental contribution to the Valley through its care for children.<\/p>\n

Their programs, such as Head Start, Early Head Start, Pre-K Counts, and Early Learning Resource Centers, stretch across the Lehigh Valley and Northeastern Pennsylvania, all working to support the economically disadvantaged and vulnerable families of our community.<\/p>\n

The Donley Award recognizes individuals, community leaders, and organizations who champion children’s health, education, and welfare at the local, regional, or national level. And this year, the three honorees included Fred Fenselau, President of Working Dog Press, whose dedication to our Valley is seen in his work with multiple organizations, such as CSC, Valley Youth House, United Way, and many others; Dr. Teri Haddad, whose passion for education and storytelling has followed her through her tenure at multiple organizations in our region, including PBS39, CSC, Phoebe Ministries, and her own media company eMediaWorks; and finally, Barry Fisher, on behalf of WFMZ-TV, who has supported CSC\u2019s mission by connecting the community with stories and organizations that support the flourishing of everyone in the region.<\/p>\n
