The Legacy Banks Foundation Contributes to Hillcrest Educational Centers - May 07, 2008
Pittsfield – The Legacy Banks Foundation has contributed a grant in the amount of $2,000 to Hillcrest Educational Centers, Inc. to support the residential treatment centers program. The campuses of Hillcrest Educational Centers focus on fully integrated therapeutic, educational and residential programming, tailored to enable students to both reach and use their true potential. Gerard Burke, president and CEO of Hillcrest, thanked Legacy for its contribution saying, “We are incredibly grateful for the continued support and partnership from The Legacy Banks Foundation, which constantly dopes so much to improve the lives of the kids at Hillcrest as well as so many other organizations here in the Berkshires.”
In addition to the four residential treatment centers, Hillcrest operates the Housatonic Academy, the only therapeutic day school for Berkshire County boys and girls. Additionally, Hillcrest Dental Care serves the oral health needs of over 5,000 Berkshire County residents, the majority of whom have special needs and/or major financial challenges. Richard Sullivan, president of The Legacy Banks Foundation commended the work of Hillcrest saying, “We are pleased to continue our support of Hillcrest Educational Centers, which is serving an important need in our community. We applaud the efforts of the staff members of these treatment centers who work hard to turn the lives around of boys and girls who would otherwise be at great risk.”
The Legacy Banks Foundation provides support to many non-profit organizations working to enhance the lives of those who work and live in the communities of its branch offices. The Foundation prioritizes six major areas - affordable housing, economic development, education, health and human services, civic and community, and arts & culture. |
