We’re deeply grateful to Bill Ritter of ABC7NY Eyewitness News for his remarkable service to our region.

Bill has been a steadfast advocate for safety and community preparedness, from his years of involvement with Operation 7 Save a Life to his gracious role as emcee at our recent Heroes Gala. His commitment to helping others and amplifying lifesaving messages continues to inspire us all.

Just this week, our board member, Marilu Galvez, hosted our team at Walt Disney's offices in NYC. Our board had the pleasure of visiting Bill, Liz Cho and the Eyewitness News team in the studio. We are grateful to Marilu and ABC7NY for hosting us and for their partnership and support of our mission.

Bill, as you enter a new chapter, we celebrate you for your leadership, compassion, and dedication to making a difference every day.
