UTICA — The Sitrin Health Care Center Military Program recently received $30,000 of vital support from an initiative honoring veterans.
The Good News Foundation (GNF) presented a check for the Sitrin Health Care Center Military Program on Dec. 17, at the GNF offices near Utica, during its end-of-year meeting. The funds are the proceeds from the 2025 “Flags for Heroes” event held in November, when about 1,000 U.S. flags were displayed on Utica’s Memorial Parkway.
The donation of $30,000 was the largest check from this event to date for the Sitrin Military Program, which serves veterans and service members who are dealing with a range of physical, emotional, and cognitive issues, according to a GNF announcement. The program has provided crucial support to those who have experienced traumatic brain injuries, spinal-cord injuries, amputations, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideations.
On behalf of the Good News Foundation, Brian Saville, CEO/executive director, and GNF board members, presented the check to Sitrin Health Care Center’s Jackie Warmuth, director of clinical rehabilitative services, and Marc Deperno, VP of foundation & communications.
The Good News Foundation says it is a Christian-based nonprofit “rooted in the values of Christ, compassion, and community. Guided by faith, it welcomes all people and provides programs, events, and support group services that encourage spiritual growth, strengthen families, and offer hope and help in times of need.”
