Bethpage attended the 2024 Queens Chamber of Commerce Building Awards Gala tonight! For 98 years, this marvelous tradition honors the architects, builders, engineers, lenders, interior designers and owners of buildings and building projects in Queens County. The gala was hosted at the TWA Hotel at JFK, the Eero Saarinen's landmark 1962 Flight Center at JFK.

Today the Bethpage team volunteered at Pal-O-Mine in Islandia! Pal-O-Mine Equestrian began in 1995 as a therapeutic horseback riding program for individuals with disabilities and other vulnerable populations. Their mission has been, and continues to be, to provide a comprehensive therapeutic equine program using horses to facilitate growth, learning and healing. The populations they serve include children and adults with disabilities, those who have been abused or neglected, the military and the impoverished.

The Bethpage team was excited for our latest Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in Ronkonkoma at Station Yards. Station Yards has it all — retail, dining variety, spacious apartment living, and inspiring creative offices that all come together in a one-stop destination. Fresh yet familiar to longtime locals, experiential and unexpected for newcomers, Station Yards reimagines what it means to be made on Long Island. We are proud to be a part of this community, so be sure to come visit us!

Today Bethpage was in Long Island City with the Long Island City Partnership (LICP) as they hosted their annual LIC Summit at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria. This event brings together thought leaders from diverse sectors across the neighborhood. The theme of this year's summit was “Building Tomorrow: LIC’s Growth & Vision,” and featured panels that showcase Long Island City as one of New York City’s most dynamic and forward-thinking neighborhoods. As we have Bethpage branch presence in Sunnyside and Ozone Park, and soon in Forest Hills, we are invested in surrounding communities in Queens and look forward to the borough's continued growth and development.

This week, Bethpage was at the Government Finance Officers Association of New Jersey's Annual Fall Conference that takes place at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The Fall Conference provides GFOA of NJ members and vendors with a unique opportunity to network with each other, share resources and ideas, and obtain continuing education credits on important and timely public finance matters. We had the opportunity to host a networking event for attendees of the conference yesterday evening and we are grateful to everyone who attended!

Tonight, Bethpage is supporting The Maurer Foundation's Pink Diamond Gala. The Maurer Foundation's mission is to save lives through breast health education that focuses on breast cancer prevention, healthy lifestyle choices, early detection and risk reduction.

Today, Bethpage is at the Camden County Regional Chamber of Commerce's "9 & Dine Annual Golf Outing" at Ramblewood Country Club. This Annual Golf Outing brings business people together for a day of relaxation and informal networking at one of the area's finest golf courses. The event features golf for the afternoon, a cocktail reception and dinner, prizes and giveaways. This event attracts many business owners and decision makers, and is an excellent way to reward customers or entertain prospects. Bethpage is spending the day on the course in New Jersey in order to bring awareness to our Bethpage branch in Cherry Hill, NJ located at 56 Haddonfield Road.

Today, our Bethpage Retail, Business Development, and Community Engagement teams are out in Ronkonkoma and surrounding communities meeting our neighbors spreading the word about our newest Bethpage branch located at 1 Hawkins Avenue in Ronkonkoma at Station Yards!

Today we are in Queens for a community meet-and-greet event called "Welcome to the Neighborhood" at Oak Street Health on Parsons Boulevard. This event includes light snacks and refreshments, fun games such as bingo/trivia, and the opportunity to connect with other community members.
