"I wanted to thank you for the fantastic article you did on the Riddell Bowl! Outstanding and reminded me of the old Grantland Rice days when football was reported in such a great way. The kids appreciated the entire article and the most professional way it was done."
-- Mark C. Santa-Donato, White Plains Football Coach

2002 PILLARS OF COMMUNITY AWARD
White Plains resident Jack Posen, DDS, was recently honored by Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS) with the agency’s 2002 Pillars of Community Award. Dr. Posen was recognized for his exceptional commitment and generosity of spirit to WJCS and the community it serves.
To honor his daughter, who perished when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, Dr. Posen founded The Pammy Fund to help financially needy young people realize their dreams through education. Over the past 10 years, The Pammy Fund has contributed nearly $150,000 to graduates of the WJCS Parent-Child Home Program (PCHP) to help defray the cost of higher education.
PCHP is an early learning program designed to prevent school problems for disadvantaged pre-schoolers and promote self-esteem and child rearing competence in their parents. Working with families in Greenburgh, Mamaroneck, New Rochelle, Port Chester and White Plains, trained home visitors use specially selected toys and books to provide cognitive enrichment through verbal interaction and special game play. During the past 30 years, nearly 2,500 children have participated in the program.
“Jack Posen’s generosity has expanded opportunities for young adults and provided strength for the mission of WJCS,” said Maida Silver, PhD, WJCS Board President and White Plains resident. “A living testament to his daughter’s memory, the Pammy Fund grants nurture the hopes of others and create a family of young people carrying on a lasting and meaningful legacy.”
In addition to supporting PCHP graduates, The Pammy Fund also assists young people involved with Help USA, the YM-YWHA of the Inwwod Section of the Bronx and the Center for Preventive Psychiatry.
A graduate of Tufts University School of Dentistry and the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Dr. Posen is an orthodontist in Armonk.
