Springbrook’s annual fundraiser, An Evening of Music, brought guests together November 10th, for an evening at the Morgan Library & Museum for an unforgettable night of connection, music, and the heartfelt presentation of the 2025 Founders Award to Dr. Gerald “Jerry” Pondolfino. Thanks to the generosity of our guests and sponsors, An Evening of Music raised more than $35,000 in support of the Springbrook Wellness Clinic.
CEO Patricia Kennedy and COO Seth Haight honored Jerry with a moving tribute titled, The Man, The Myth, The Legend, celebrating his generosity, leadership, and long-standing commitment to Springbrook. In his remarks, Jerry shared how deeply Springbrook has impacted his family, saying:
“Sometimes no matter what you do, it’s like the walls are caving in and there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. That’s when I started my relationship with Springbrook… You cannot find a better organization to support. Springbrook is truly one of a kind.”
The evening concluded with inspiring performances by world-renowned musicians—and proud Springbrook parents—Carmit Zori and Robert Rinehart, joined by their friend Todd Phillips. Their music filled the room with warmth, gratitude, and love.
A heartfelt thank you to our generous event sponsors—Hodgson Russ, Bryans & Gramuglia, AirTemp, Hinman Howard & Kattell, Patricia O’Brien, Fenimore Asset Management, Patricia Kennedy, USI, and many others—who made this magical evening possible.
Together, we celebrated community, compassion, and the incredible spirit of Springbrook!
