It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, it’s not Christmas in July. It’s the 2026 Living Resources Day Services Awards Ceremony!
From Warren to Westchester Counties and everywhere in between, our incredible staff and participants gathered at Hudson High School to celebrate a year of achievement. The energy was contagious from the moment the music began, with singing, dancing, laughter, and smiles filling the auditorium.
The ceremony recognized participants for reaching important goals toward greater independence, from mastering transportation, cooking, math, and computer skills to demonstrating kindness, friendship, and support for one another. We also proudly presented our Starlight Awards, recognizing outstanding staff members and participants from each county.
We paused to remember two cherished members of the Living Resources family. A moment of silence honored the legacy of Joe Morelli, whose 33 years of leadership and compassion helped shape our organization. We also presented the inaugural Master Chef Award in memory of Nah'Quis Williams, with his mother, Nanesha Davis, joining us to present the award to participant Michael Stapf.
The ceremony also celebrated those whose generosity and leadership continue to inspire others. The Mayor Frank A. Leak Community Enrichment Award was presented to BBL and the Main Street Community Center for their outstanding community partnership. The Amanda Rivenburg Phoenix Award was presented by Amanda's parents (Thomas Rivenburg and Donna Floyd Rivenburg) to Kattiana Casseus, recognizing her remarkable growth from DSP to Assistant Director in just three years.
Continuing Amanda's legacy, we were also proud to recognize the 2026 recipients of the Amanda R. Rivenburg Memorial Scholarship, a fund established by her father (Thomas Rivenburg) and the Living Resources Foundation: Quyana Thevenin, who received $1,000 toward her bachelor's degree, and Radmyla Lutsenko, who received $2,500 to support completion of her master's degree.
As we reflected on the accomplishments, memories, and joy shared throughout the day, one thing was clear: there is something magical about celebrating a community that lifts one another up. It may not have been Christmas in July, but it certainly captured the warmth, hope, and spirit that make this event one of the most special days of the year.

True inclusion means recognizing and respecting every individual exactly as they are. Today and every day, let’s continue to listen to non-binary voices, educate ourselves, and build an environment where everyone feels seen, valued, and safe to be their authentic selves.
