Helping People Succeed Celebrates 60 Years!

60 years ago Helping People Succeed was founded by a group of parents wanting more for their sons and daughters who had disabilities. Little did they know that six decades later Helping People Succeed would be celebrating all of their accomplishments and dreams.

Nearly 100 guests gathered in May to celebrate Helping People Succeed’s 60 years of good works, volunteerism and philanthropy. This celebratory event was graciously hosted by Jeanine Webster and Mel Nobel.

The venue was the headquarters in Jensen Beach and was elegantly decorated reflecting the 60th theme. A large Historical Snapshot was displayed and each guest marked their place of entry of involvement of this meaningful nonprofit.

The speakers were magnificent! Senator Gayle Harrell captured our history in a meaningful and educated way, Helping People Succeed’s CEO Suzy Hutcheson did a wonderful job with her overview of where Helping People Succeed has been and what the organization looks like today. Samuel McIntosh stole the show with his testimonial of support from Helping People Succeed. Bliss Browne, former board chair, shared with the group her passion behind the mission and Heidi Bosley, chair of the Governing Board, captured the audience with her own personal story and closing with what our future holds. Mary Kay Buckridge was honored as the most long-standing volunteer in the room.

The heart of Helping People Succeed is reflected in the successes of the people who are served. The newborn who thrives from a solid foundation and safe environment, the student who is at risk of expulsion and graduates high school, the smile on the face of a person with a disability when he lands a job and receives his first paycheck. Since its inception, Helping People Succeed has changed the trajectory of thousands of lives leading to a path of confidence and well-being.

Helping People Succeed is proud and honored to be celebrating 60 years of service to the community and is thankful for their support of its mission: Helping People Succeed transforms lives through education, counseling, training and employment.
