CNR
Shares Coburn
Memorial Home Gift
At an afternoon reception held on July 28 in the
Castle on the Main Campus of CNR, the Board of Trustees of the Colburn
Memorial Home donated the entire proceeds from the sale of its Clinton
Avenue property in New Rochelle to nine area not-for-profit
organizations. The College of New Rochelle Graduate School Gerontology
Program was one of the major recipients, sharing
funds from the sale of this former senior residence in New Rochelle,
which is
now being developed into a new townhome community.
President
Sweeny accepted the gift from Chair of the Board of Trustees of the
Colburn
Home, Mary Jane Reddington ’45.
CNR
and the Colburn Home have shared a mission of service to the community
for
almost 100 years. In recent years, the Graduate
School Gerontology Program, led by
nationally-recognized scholar Dr. Kenneth Doka, and the Colburn Home
have
shared a commitment to the care and dignity of older persons in New
Rochelle, a
critically important partnership, as Westchester has one of the highest
percentages of senior citizens in the nation.
