Gullotta House is celebrating ten years of helping Westchester County residents facing hardships at its 10th Anniversary Celebration event on Sunday, June 29, 2025, from 11:30 am – 3:00 pm at The Briarcliff Manor, located at 25 Studio Hill Road in Briarcliff Manor, NY. This year’s celebration will honor Robert Nolan, Michael Zezze on behalf of the Chappaqua Fire Department, and Kyle Brown on behalf of the Town of New Castle DPW.

“I am looking forward to celebrating ten years at our 10th Anniversary Celebration event in June,” said Matthew Gullotta, President and Founder of Gullotta House. “I am extremely thankful for all our partners, donors, and volunteers who believe in our mission of helping Westchester County residents in need. Whether it is delivering or serving meals, participating in our Gullotta House Presents: Sing Sing Chairty Plunge and Headless Horseman Charity Plunge, or contributing to our organization, I have been amazed over the years at the continued generosity and commitment of others, who demonstrate what community is all about.”

Robert Nolan is a fourth-generation resident of Ossining, NY, who owns AAA Nolan’s Auto Collision in Ossining and whose volunteerism, service, and generosity are unmatched. Nolan has a total of 42 years in the auto body repair business, beginning his journey in his parents garage before transforming AAA Nolan’s Auto Collision from a small operation into a reputable local business that reflects his dedication to quality and service. Nolan is committed to his community, where he serves as a respected board member of Gullotta House, a past president of the Rotary Club of Ossining, a member of The Loyal Order of Moose Lodge in Ossining, a member of The Elks Club in Ossining, a member of the Business Booster of Briarcliff Manor, a past trustee of the Yorktown Diamond Thistle #555, and an active participant in the Ossining Chamber of Commerce. Nolan is a true advocate for local causes, supporting the Ossining Micro Fund, the Ossining Food Bank, and the Jessy Collyer Fund.

Michael Zezze is a Captain of the Chappaqua Fire Department who is dedicated to serving his community and keeping others safe. Zezze is highly trained in all aspects of fire suppression, fire rescue, and fire prevention, and embodies the Department’s mission statement “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.” Zezze was recognized for his heroic efforts when he was dispatched to a car that rolled over and was off the highway. Zezze, along with another firefighter, removed the car’s windshield, assisted the sole occupant to safety, and performed life-saving measures to the tow truck operator on the scene, who went into cardiac arrest and collapsed. Thanks to their efforts, they were able to detect a pulse before the individual was transported to Northern Westchester Hospital, where he made a full recovery

Kyle Brown is an employee of the Town of New Castle Department of Public Works who has spent more than a decade serving his community in multiple capacities. Brown has also been a proud member of the Bedford Hills Fire Department since 2011, where he currently serves as a lieutenant. He is also a member of the Mount Kisco Volunteer Ambulance Corps since 2014, demonstrating his deep and ongoing commitment to public safety and emergency response. In addition to his civic service, Brown is an active member of Antioch Baptist Church in Bedford Hills, where he serves as the Facilities Manager and lends his musical talents as a drummer in the church band.
