CUOMO BRIDGE LIGHTS UP ORANGE FOR THE ARC WESTCHESTER!

The orange illumination of The Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge serves as a poignant tribute to The Arc Westchester’s unwavering commitment to fostering independence, inclusion, and dignity for all. The Chapter extends heartfelt appreciation to all who joined them at the water’s edge and to the New York State Thruway Authority for recognizing their dedication to enhancing the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities in our communities.

On a cool, windy night along the Hudson River, The Arc Westchester marked its 75th Anniversary with a special celebration. The Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge lit up in bright orange on the evening of April 13th to honor this significant milestone. Orange is The Arc’s signature color, symbolizing the steadfast commitment to supporting people with developmental disabilities and their families across Westchester County. Family members, staff and people supported by The Arc Westchester gathered at The Hudson RiverWalk Park in Tarrytown. They witnessed the breathtaking sight of the illuminated bridge and came together to honor all who have contributed to the Chapter’s mission over the past 75 years. From humble beginnings of family advocacy, The Arc Westchester has grown into the largest non-profit in the county, serving nearly 2,000 children, teens, and adults with developmental disabilities.
