2016 Father of the Year Awards Celebration to Honor Three Local Fathers
Bridgewater, NJ, May 11, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The American Diabetes Association and the Father’s Day Council of New Jersey will award three men for their commitment to fatherhood and philanthropy on June 1 at the Newark Club in Newark, NJ. The recipients of this year’s Father of the Year Awards are:
- Kenneth Miller of Warren, NJ , Worldwide President-Diabetes Care, BD
- James List of Princeton, NJ, Global Therapeutic Area Head, Cardiovascular and Metabolism, Janssen Research & Development
- Al Altomari of Washington Crossing, PA, President & CEO, Agile Therapeutics
These fathers were selected based on their ability to balance their personal and professional lives, and serve as a role model for their children, while making a positive difference in their communities. All proceeds from the event will support the American Diabetes Association and its mission: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
“We are proud of these exceptional fathers who have demonstrated the ability to balance a high level of success in their chosen careers, and serve as great role models in our community,” said Taran Connelly, area executive director of the New Jersey market of the Association. “They deserve recognition not only as fathers and community leaders, but for their commitment to help change the future of diabetes.”
Today, there are nearly 30 million Americans - including more than 8% of New Jersey residents - who have diabetes. Unfortunately, more than 8 million people are unaware that they have the disease. If present trends continue, one in three Americans faces a future with diabetes by 2050.
