MSC Industrial Supply Co. Supports EAC Network's Annual Luncheon

EAC Network received a very charitable donation of $10,000 from MSC Industrial Supply Co., in support of the agency’s 14th Annual LIGHT OF HOPE Luncheon, presented by Bethpage Federal Credit Union. The fundraiser was held on Wednesday, March 12th, 2014 at the Crest Hollow Country Club and raised almost $115,000 to help support EAC Network’s many programs and services. “We are extremely grateful to MSC Industrial Supply Co. for their continued support of EAC Network and for being an outstanding community partner,” stated Lance W. Elder, President and CEO of EAC Network. “Their generosity will ensure that we can continue to meet our commitments to our clients.”

The LIGHT OF HOPE Luncheon is EAC Network’s largest annual fundraising event. This year’s event honored Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano and Angela S. Anton of Anton Community Newspapers, who was also a sponsor, for their service and commitment to the community.

Proceeds from the event support EAC Network’s 70 programs that protect at-risk children, support senior citizens, help people with mental health and substance abuse problems, educate people seeking financial independence, assist individuals who are under or unemployed, mediate disputes, and work with families in crisis. Last year, EAC Network helped over 57,400 people.
