FCA Honors Long Island Women in Philanthropy

Inaugural Breakfast and Fashion show benefits FCA programs that help women and families

(FCA)

In celebration of Women’s History Month, FCA, one of Long Island’s largest human services agencies, held its first Long Island Women in Philanthropy breakfast and fashion show. FCA honored the vision of founding mother Louisa Lee Schuyler, a great granddaughter of Alexander Hamilton, and two modern day philanthropists, Farrell Fritz partner Domenique Camacho Moran and 11-year old inventor Mia Monzidelis. More than 100 supporters attended the event, filling the room with a palpable buzz of good cheer in honor of Camacho Moran, Monzidelis, FCA staff and consumers who modeled fashions, and women who are making history every day, working to help others and themselves achieve their potential and strengthen themselves and others in their community.
