Lifelong Montclair Gets Community Award: Elders and Disabled

Montclair, NJ – The spirit of Mary WanderPolo is alive in Montclair.

On April 14, local nonprofit Lifelong Montclair recently received the Mary WanderPolo Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Benefit of the Elder and Disabled Community.

According to a township news release, The Elder Law Section of the New Jersey State Bar Association presents the award annually to an individual or organization that “exemplifies in actions and deeds the spirit, sensitivity, caring, zest for life and professional excellence that the late Mary WanderPolo - a founding partner of the WanderPolo and Siegel law firm in Upper Montclair - gave to her community, clients, family and friends.”

“It is a great honor for Lifelong Montclair to receive this award,” said Lifelong Montclair Project Director Katie York who accepted the award. “Our accomplishments would not be possible without funding from Partners for Health Foundation, support from the Township of Montclair, and efforts of our partner organizations working together to help transform Montclair from a good place to live into a great place to grow older.”
