Capital Region Philanthropy Hall of Fame

The Capital Region Philanthropy Hall of Fame is a tribute to the citizens who have given so much to improve the quality of life for others. This year's inductee is the late Father Peter G. Young, a pioneer in substance abuse treatment who devoted his life to helping people and turning their lives around. His work saved many lives and was transformative to our region. His legacy will never be forgotten.
