SUMMARY:Flags For Heroes
DESCRIPTION:If you drove by the Memorial Parkway from November 4th to 11th\, you were sure to be moved by the display of 1\,000 American flags fluttering in the breeze.  During the past eleven years\, The Good News Foundation has been able to donate $227\,750 to veterans and active military organizations throughout the local community. \nIn 2025\, The Good News Foundation donated $30\,000 to Sitrin’s Military Program\, the largest donation to date!! None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of the Good News staff\, our volunteers\, and all the sponsors. Each year we are thankful for the support and assistance we receive from so many generous individuals and businesses. \nThe Good News Foundation is very proud to be able to donate the proceeds to Sitrin’s Military Program. The Program is designed to treat veterans and service members experiencing physical\, emotional\, and cognitive issues. The program is different from conventional veteran care\, personalizing treatment options and social activities based on each individual’s needs and interests. Those who have experienced traumatic brain injury\, spinal cord injuries\, amputations\, depression\, anxiety\, suicidal ideations\, and other symptoms have benefited from Sitrin’s unique approach to care. \n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			Thank You To Our Sponsors

SUMMARY:Caregiver Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Caring… it’s not the hard part of caregiving.\nThe Caregiver Support Group meets monthly from 6-7:30 PM\, facilitated by Mary Bogdan\, MHA\, BSN\, CHPN\, CHPCA.\nOur group is FREE and open to the public and meets the third Monday of the month. Please check our calendar for upcoming dates. \nThe group provides a source of emotional and social support and resources for those caring for a loved one.\nWe offer self-care strategies and tools to reduce stress and enhance coping. We welcome adults\, spouses\, family members or friends in the caregiver role to attend. \nFor those who prefer to do so\, the program is also being offered virtually via Zoom. \nPlease contact The Good News Center at 315-735-6210 Monday-Friday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM to register whether attending in-person or virtually. \nThe National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) and AARP collaborated on Caregiving in the U.S. 2020 – an update to the organizations’ research report series conducted roughly every five years. The 2020 update reveals an increase in the number of family caregivers in the United States of 9.5 million from 2015 to 2020. Family caregivers now encompass more than one in five Americans. The study also reveals that family caregivers are in worse health compared to five years ago. As the demand for caregiving rises with an aging population\, there is an opportunity for the public and private sectors to work together to develop solutions to support family caregivers and those under their care. \n\n		\n	\n\n	Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.

SUMMARY:Caregiver Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Caring… it’s not the hard part of caregiving.\nThe Caregiver Support Group meets monthly from 6-7:30 PM\, facilitated by Mary Bogdan\, MHA\, BSN\, CHPN\, CHPCA.\nOur group is FREE and open to the public and meets the third Monday of the month. Please check our calendar for upcoming dates. \nThe group provides a source of emotional and social support and resources for those caring for a loved one.\nWe offer self-care strategies and tools to reduce stress and enhance coping. We welcome adults\, spouses\, family members or friends in the caregiver role to attend. \nFor those who prefer to do so\, the program is also being offered virtually via Zoom. \nPlease contact The Good News Center at 315-735-6210 Monday-Friday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM to register whether attending in-person or virtually. \nThe National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) and AARP collaborated on Caregiving in the U.S. 2020 – an update to the organizations’ research report series conducted roughly every five years. The 2020 update reveals an increase in the number of family caregivers in the United States of 9.5 million from 2015 to 2020. Family caregivers now encompass more than one in five Americans. The study also reveals that family caregivers are in worse health compared to five years ago. As the demand for caregiving rises with an aging population\, there is an opportunity for the public and private sectors to work together to develop solutions to support family caregivers and those under their care. \n\n		\n	\n\n	Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.
