“A World of Imagination” Awaits at the ACLD Foundation’s Annual Enviable Life Ball

Step into a world of pure imagination as the ACLD Foundation brings the tastes of sweet fun at the annual Enviable Life Ball on October 9 at the Garden City Hotel. Inspired by the whimsical wonder of Willy Wonka, the ballroom will be transformed into A World of Imagination as guests will be whisked away on a magical journey filled with delightful surprises and heartfelt purpose – all in support of Adults and Children with Learning and Developmental Disabilities, Inc. (ACLD). ACLD is a leading not-for-profit on Long Island with a mission to provide opportunities for children and adults with disabilities to pursue enviable lives, increase their independence and foster supportive relationships within the community.

This year’s honoree is Mitchell O. Goldberg, President and CEO of ClientFirst Strategy, Inc., where he will receive the Leadership Award for his exemplary service and commitment to ACLD and the greater intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) community. Goldberg serves on the ACLD Foundation Board of Directors and is an active member of the ACLD Board’s Finance and Investment Committees.

Goldberg’s connection to the agency is deeply personal. He was first introduced to ACLD seven years ago through the Long Island Elite (LIE) networking organization, who honored ACLD as their charity partner in 2018. Goldberg’s son, Jordan, now receives services through ACLD in their Residential Program. As a Foundation Board of Directors member, a sponsor at many Foundation events and as a parent, Goldberg’s dedication to furthering ACLD’s mission is inspirational.

Major sponsors for this year’s event include: Golden Ticket Sponsor Pilot R│B. Imaginarium Sponsor Irwin Siegel Agency, Inc. Fantastical Whimsical Sponsor Plum Rudder and Sameer Patel. Wonderland Sponsors ClientFirst Strategy, Inc.; Community Care RX; Enterprise Fleet Management; Gail & Don Mitzner; Moritt Hock & Hamroff, LLP; Alan & Ellen Spiegel; Valley Bank.
