Peter Sweisgood Breakfast 2011
Thank you to all who helped make our 22nd Annual Peter Sweisgood Breakfast our best ever!
Break bread with Long Island’s addiction treatment community as we give thanks for the miracle of recovery, nourish our souls, and acknowledge those who have stepped forward to address the challenges of addiction on Long Island.
Founded in 1956 by R. Brinkley Smithers, LICADD remains one of Long Island’s premier nonprofits and is often the first stop for individuals and families struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction. As we mark our 22nd breakfast, we remember and honor the dedication, talents and life’s work of Father Peter Sweisgood. Both Father Pete and Brink saved the lives of many and our work today continues under their watchful eyes.
The Peter Sweisgood Breakfast has always provided LICADD with an opportunity to express our appreciation to our partners in addiction treatment and prevention. Last year, Thomas MacGilvray from the Suffolk County Division of Community Mental Hygiene, Angela Anton from Anton Publications and the students of Kellenberg Memorial High School joined a distinguished roster of honorees that includes Jed Morey, Publisher of the Long Island Press, NYS OASAS Commissioner Karen Carpenter-Palumbo, Claudia Ragni from the Ken Peters Center for Recovery, Jack Hamilton from the Long Island Center for Recovery, George Benedict from Seafield, and Suzanne and Jim Boylston Cusack from Veritas Villa. This year’s honorees have each made a significant contributions to our efforts to promote awareness, treatment on demand and new approaches to substance abuse prevention.
