TRC’s Celebration of Life will take place November 15

TRC self-advocates who have recently passed away will be remembered at our annual William Haenggi Celebration of Life on Friday, November 15.

The free event will run from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Conference Center of our administrative offices at 200 Dunham Avenue in Celoron. (Park in the rear lot and enter through the door at the top of the ramp to the left.)

At the event, we’ll remember people with developmental disabilities who received supports from TRC and who died since the last Celebration of Life was held in November 2023. Following the remembrance, there will be a dance. For more information, phone Erica Suroviec, Recreation Coordinator, at 716-483-2344, extension 20126.

The Celebration of Life is named in memory of Bill Haenggi, a longtime member of TRC’s Board of Directors. For years, Bill and his wife, Donna (who currently serves on the Board), led a Bible study group for people with intellectual disabilities.

Our William Haenggi Celebration of Life Fund provides money to cover funeral and burial/cremation costs of TRC self-advocates. If you’re unable to attend the Celebration of Life, please consider making a donation to the William Haenggi Celebration of Life Fund in memory of someone whose life was enhanced by The Resource Center.
