Basket of Hope

We are thrilled to invite you to the 3rd Annual Basket of Hope on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2026, at Stonebridge Links & Country Club. Together we will honor lives lost to mental health and substance use challenges, including Shaun La Macchia and Dominick Peluso. We’ll also recognize this year’s honorees: Hira Ruskin, who will present the Dominick Thomas Peluso III Mental Health Advocacy Award; Alice Marie Rorke, the inaugural recipient of the Shaun La Macchia Award; and Kenny McDonough, recipient of the Hope Award. All funds will support CN Guidance's mission to help 20,000+ Long Islanders facing mental health and substance use challenges.
