Join Young Friends of
ACHIEVEability
Thank You For Supporting
Our Mission!
A core group of
energetic young
leaders have
united to lead the
Joey Novielli, pictured far left,
with his Young Friends.
Young Friends
of ACHIEVEability in spreading the word about
ACHIEVEability and organizing events for “the
younger crowd.” Through their efforts more than
200 young professionals raised nearly $5,000
for ACHIEVEability. Their “Sip, Socialize and Serve”
events are getting more popular with each event.
So, whether it is to “party with a purpose” or
support our various donation drives, check out
the ACHIEVEability website to learn more about
upcoming Young Friends events.
We would like to thank the organizing
committee and also take this opportunity to
note the passing of dedicated volunteer and
ACHIEVEability Young Friend, Joey Novielli III.
Joey was a tremendous blessing to our
organization for his volunteer activities and his
passion. ACHIEVEability will always cherish Joey’s
commitment to our ag ency and we have created
an award in his honor.
The ACHIEVEability Board of Directors, staff and
our families say thank you to all of the foundations,
corporations, government agencies, and individual
donors for supporting our mission through your gifts
of money, time, and energy. Your donations have
helped our well-deserving families maintain stable
housing, pursue higher education, and continue their
progress towards self-sufficiency.
Your contributions are also helping us build
essential community outreach initiatives for the
undeserved members of our local community.
None of the work we do would be possible
without your support.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
We appreciate the support from our donors,
sponsors, and volunteers, for our recent Coaches’ Cup
Golf Outing, which took place at the Manufacturers’
Golf & County
Club. Thank you
for making it a
successful event!
