ACDS is honored to have received a generous $25,000 grant from The Richard J. O’Brien Foundation. The grant has been designated towards making capital improvements for the Plainview school building by creating additional classrooms to enable us to serve more children. The Richard J. O’Brien Foundation was established to honor the memory of Rich O’Brien, who passed away in September 2010. Rich was actively involved with many non-profit organizations on Long Island and always gave generously of his time – especially to organizations benefiting children and their families. The Foundation was organized by Rich’s family and friends and supports charities focusing on children in need of special care, bereavement counseling and those dealing with children’s health issues.  WE are honored to be a recipient of the O’Brien’s generosity.
