Among the champions: one local couple and local business who received special honored: Wayne and Nicole Jeffers of White Plains and Frank Confalon of Frank’s Food Court in Elmsford.

A few years back, firefighter and founder Walter Ferguson of Tarrytown said he and his wife were being honored by the Elizabeth Mascia Child Care Center and he got to get up and talk about his work as a firefighter and with the Burncare foundation. This struck a cord for a couple in the audience who were about to get married. The Jeffers were moved enough to donate a generous portion of their wedding money to the cause. Confalon of Frank’s Food Court, said Ferguson, has been generous to the foundation and its events for years.

The Burn Center at Westchester Medical Center is the only Burn Center between New York City and the Canadian border in Eastern New York, offering hope for survival and a productive life to hundreds of burn victims each year.
