Gentner, recently received the 2017 Humanitarian Award from The Grace – Ujamaa Development Corporations in Mount Vernon, NY during their Village of Grace Awards Dinner. President Gentner’s award was given in appreciation for his vision and efforts to provide quality care for the oldest members of the community. The evening also highlighted the programs and services of the The Grace – Ujamaa Community Development Corporations, which provide support to those in need in the tri-state area, with a focus on Westchester County.

“It was an honor to be recognized by such a venerated pillar in this community. The Grace -Ujamaa Community Development Corporations have made such an impact, particularly in the area of affordable housing. On behalf of Wartburg, my friends and my family, I want to thank the Awards Dinner Committee for what was a very special night,” said Mr. Gentner.
