“Our 100th Anniversary Gala is sure to bring community and business leaders together to honor and celebrate those that have truly embraced our mission and helped pave the way for future generations of women leaders,” said Donna Ceravolo, Executive Director of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County, Inc. “As we continue to celebrate our 100th Anniversary, our Gala is a way to recognize how far we’ve come and get excited for the future possibilities ahead – the sky is the limit with Girl Scouting!“
At the Gala the Girl Scouts of Nassau County will honor Deborah Schiff, North Shore LIJ Health System with the “Courage Award,” Long Island Children’s Museum with the “Confidence Award,” and Dr. George Santiago, Jr. of Briarcliffe College with the “Character Award.”

Ms. Ceravolo adds, “We are thrilled to recognize some outstanding honorees this year and show our gratitude for all they have done and continue to do for our organization and the community at large. These honorees are examples of positive leadership and role models that exist on Long Island and have helped shape us girls for the past 100 years!”
