Joyce Stevenson, president of the Fahrney-Keedy Home & Village Auxiliary in Boonsboro, was honored Nov. 9 as a distinguished volunteer during the National Philanthropy Day luncheon at Hollow Creek Restaurant in Middletown, Md.
At the event, the Western Maryland Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals lauded area volunteers for their work in the community.
Stevenson, of Waynesboro, Pa., a nurse by background, has been president of the auxiliary for the last five years. She was nominated as someone “passionate, enthusiastic and always affable” in her work to assist Fahrney-Keedy, overseeing all the auxiliary’s fundraisers. She received a medallion and certificate at the luncheon.
Keith Bryan, president and chief executive officer of Fahrney-Keedy, said of Stevenson: “As the auxiliary president, Joyce oversees all auxiliary-related fundraisers. These activities direct a substantial amount of support for Fahrney-Keedy’s retirement living programs and services. All members of our Fahrney-Keedy family, residents and associates benefit from the auxiliary’s support with such programs as associate scholarship program, community-wide upgrades and necessary medical and activity supplies.”
He added, “Joyce gets along with everyone, making her the ideal leader of the Fahrney-Keedy auxiliary.”
