Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens hosted its Bishop’s Humanitarian Award Dinner at Pier Sixty on June 22nd.   Richard J. Smyth, Vice President of Corporate Real Estate, JetBlue Airways, was honored for his leadership and commitment to the well-being of others.

Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, Ph.D., D.D., Bishop of Brooklyn, served as Honorary Chairman. Charles F. Murphy, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Turner Construction Company served as Dinner Chairman. Vice Chairmen included Jamie Crystal, Executive Vice President, Frank Crystal & Co. and Peter M. Meyer, NYC Market President, TD Bank. Ken Rosato, Anchor of WABC-TV’s Eyewitness News served as the Master of Ceremonies for this important fundraiser. Renowned Opera Tenor Christopher Macchio also performed.

The Bishop’s Humanitarian Award Dinner was started over twenty years ago and is held annually through the generous support of concerned individuals and organizations who champion the agency’s mission on behalf of children and families, older adults, the developmentally disabled, the mentally ill, the formerly homeless and the isolated. It has generated millions of dollars in support of the work of the agency.

“There is increased urgency to provide services to those in greatest need during these difficult economic times,” said Mr. Siebel.  “Now, more than ever, we are relying on our friends in the community to support the agency’s critical mission.”
