Senator James Skoufis (D-Hudson Valley) recently awarded a Senate Commendation to Monroe resident Irene Sullivan for her run in the 2021 NYC Marathon, raising almost $20,000 for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in memory of her late husband, Brian.
Tunnel to Towers provides mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children — something Irene, and her daughters Nicole and Samantha, are all too familiar with.
“Irene’s strength and perseverance in the face of immense loss is an incredible inspiration,” said Skoufis. “I was proud to share this honor with Irene and to hear about her impressive marathon performance. I have no doubt she’ll continue to make her Monroe and Orange County communities proud in runs to come.”
