HONORARY CHAIR PAUL VOLCKER & THE CEREBRAL PALSY INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION (CPIRF) CELEBRATE “FAMILIES OF DISTINCTION”

Goldenson) who have embraced a long-term commitment to the cause of Cerebral Palsy. Also receiving honors were Gary Lynn and his mother Andrea for being the “Ambassador Family” of the evening. Gary, who has been diagnosed with CP, made a heartfelt speech about how he lives with CP and his future goals to become a sports attorney agent and enter politics.

Over $300,000 was raised during the evening in silent and live auctions. CPIRF Chairman of the Board and Honorary Dinner Chair, Paul A.
