Dear Friends & Fellow Parents Welcome to A Matter of Taste, Arc of Westchester’s signature fundraising event to support innovative, comprehensive, and lifelong services for thousands of individuals and families impacted by autism and other developmental disabilities.

We’re grateful for your generous support, which has helped make this event bigger and better every year. Event Co-Chair Peter Herrero Jr., and our dedicated committee have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to attract a dazzling assortment of talented chefs and beverage providers who will ensure that this, our 13th A Matter of Taste, is the best ever.

So… Let’s have fun! Enjoy the camaraderie and indulge in the delicious food, wine, spirits, and beer. Bid high and bid often as you take pleasure in the joy of giving.

Let’s be inspired! Tonight’s honorees, Virginia Donovan and Bill Deutsch and Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, teach us the value of individual action and exemplify the positive “Can Do” attitude that permeates the Arc of Westchester. As you will see, their generous support of our work merits our admiration and applause. Please take a moment to offer them your personal thanks.

Let’s learn! Our speakers, film, and table literature will give you greater insight about our mission and a deeper appreciation of our successes as well as the challenges we face. Learn about the positive outcomes we’re bringing to communities all over Westchester County, and see why your continued support—throughout the year—is so vital.

Let’s make an impact! Share what you learn here tonight—become ambassadors for our mission and help us raise awareness and expand our reach. Be as generous as possible. Together we can, and do, change lives.

Let’s raise a glass to you for your support, and for your choice to join the Arc of Westchester family.

With deepest gratitude,

Each year, this important fundraising event brings together more than 400 members of the Arc of Westchester family to raise funds for critically needed programs and services for more than 2,000 people of all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Because of you and all of our other generous supporters, A Matter of Taste has raised close to $2 million over the past 12 years.

Thank you for doing what is right for our children, adults and families.

Tonight we honor Virginia Donovan with the Family Partner Award and Bill Deutsch and Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits with the Business Partner Award. Virginia and Bill embody the spirit of the Arc of Westchester and uphold its mission to support people impacted by autism and other developmental disabilities achieve their potential by strengthening families and encouraging personal choice. We are grateful for their extraordinary contributions to the Arc of Westchester family.

FAMILY PARTNER AWARD

Virginia Donovan Parent and Arc of Westchester Benefactor Virginia Donovan’s involvement with Arc of Westchester began decades ago. Searching for a proper placement for her daughter Karen, Virginia was turned away by numerous schools and service providers. It was the Arc of Westchester’s Children’s School that said “yes” when all others said “no.” Inspired by a deep gratitude for the lifechanging services Karen received, Virginia has donated generously and consistently, making Arc of Westchester a philanthropic priority. She continues to act as an ambassador for our mission, encouraging others to give so that families can take advantage of all that Arc of Westchester has to offer. Virginia has also been a guiding light and extraordinary supporter of our visual and performing arts programs, which have proven to unlock potential in people with special needs.

Virginia is a treasured member of the Arc of Westchester family, and we are honored to present her with this year’s Family Partner Award.

Dear Friend, Welcome to the 13th annual A Matter of Taste. It is our sincere hope that you are enjoying this lively and meaningful event.

Arc of Westchester is unparalleled in its commitment to provide life-long comprehensive services and innovative programs for children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities through the entire arc of their lives. We are determined to make possible a bright future for the thousands of individuals who depend on us every day, despite ever-increasing challenges.

Our $6 million Arc of a Life Campaign was designed to address a seismic shift in funding resources, an exploding population, and changed paradigms for providing these services.

As Co-Chairs of this important campaign, we are pleased to report that the contributions and pledges of over $3,200,000 committed so far have allowed us to begin new program initiatives, improve our residences and direct support where it is most needed - such as helping to place young people in productive jobs in the community.

In the months ahead, we promise to continue to provide updates on our campaign progress and share the many success stories made possible through the extraordinary generosity of our campaign donors.

To schedule a meeting or a tour, or simply request more information regarding the Arc of a Life Campaign, please visit our website at www.arcwestchester.org, or contact Nancy Patota, Executive Director of the Arc of Westchester Foundation, by phone at (914) 495-4625 or via e-mail at npatota@arcwestchester.org.

We are proud to serve as Co-Chairs of this very important campaign and hope that we can count on your continuing generosity to help us reach our $6 million goal.

Warmest regards,

William V. Healey

THE MATTHEWS, FROM BEACON NY; CHRISTINE, MARK AND THEIR SONS MARK JR., TIMOTHY AND CASEY CASEY, AGE 14, HAS AUTISM.

IT

TAKES

BRAINS TO SOLVE AUTISM The Matthews family never saw themselves as a “super” family, yet when they bonded together to support their son Casey, they were indeed super. And now the Matthews and families like them all over New York and around the world are being looked upon as superheroes. Why?

They have all been united by one brave and heroic act … pledging to donate the brain tissue of their sons and daughters when they are sadly no longer with us. It’s difficult to think about, but the reality is that brain tissue is urgently needed for the scientific research that will help thousands of people with autism.

Join forces with the Matthews family and other superhero families to help ensure a brighter future for all.

Because it takes brains to solve autism.

Visit TakesBrains.org to learn more and see how your entire family can help build a better tomorrow.

Or contact the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York: 844-212-HOPE (4673).
