NEW JERSEY – This past weekend, Senate Republican Leader Anthony M. Bucco (R-25) was honored at Bonnie Brae’s 39th Annual Tartan Ball with their Red Bandanna Award for his advocacy for youth mental health.
“I am extremely grateful to receive the Bonnie Brae Red Bandanna Award,” said Bucco. “Bonnie Brae is truly an exceptional organization that goes above and beyond to ensure young New Jerseyans become the best version of themselves and it has been my honor to support their mission of helping troubled youth from crisis to success. Here’s to the continued Small Victories, Every Day!”
“Senator Anthony Bucco truly embodies the spirit of the Red Bandanna Award, created in memory of Remy Welles Crowther,” said Paul D. Rieger, Bonnie Brae CEO. “His decades-long advocacy and unwavering support for youth facing mental health and substance abuse challenges—like those served by Bonnie Brae for more than 100 years—led us to honor him at this year’s Tartan Ball. Thanks to his support and the generosity of our donors, we continue to empower our young people to thrive every day. Congratulations to Senator Anthony Bucco!”
Bonnie Brae is an extraordinary residential school and a safe place for boys, girls, young men and young women in crisis, ages 12-21. They provide the most comprehensive care for historically under-served youth and families throughout New Jersey.
The organization has transformed the lives of more than 13,000 youth and their families, taking them from crisis to success and offering them hope.
