Legacy Circle
Dan Siracuse, second from right, Marketing Manager of DFT Communications, accepts a painting in recognition of DFT having made contributions totaling $50,000 to The Resource Center and TRC Foundation over the years. Presenting the gift are, from left, Paul Cesana, the Executive Director of The Resource Center and the President of TRC Foundation; Carol Lorenc, Treasurer of The Resource Center’s Board of Directors; and Michael Felice, the Chair of TRC Foundation’s Board. The painting was created by Daryl Waite, who participates in TRC’s Day Habilitation Program on Lake Shore Drive in Dunkirk.
Consistent periodic or annual contributions to TRC Foundation provide financial resources that, over time, grow into a significant “legacy” that will support individuals with disabilities for years to come. In 2001, TRC Foundation’s Board of Directors established a “Legacy of Love” recognition for individuals, businesses and other entities that, over time, have achieved milestone levels of giving.
