We had a delicious and elegant dinner and Q&A session with Special Guest of Honor, former US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. The event, benefitting Livengrin’s First Responders Addiction Treatment (FRAT) program, raised nearly $75,000 for patient scholarships and programs. The Livengrin Short Film was also previewed – a powerful piece which illustrates the challenges and hope of the battle against addiction. The Anniversary Celebration, held at the Northampton Valley Country Club in Richboro, drew support from First Responder unions, individual donors, public officials, Livengrin alumni, friends, employees, and Board members, and local and national businesses. The Anniversary Celebration attracted over 120 donors and supportive public officials including Bensalem Mayor Joseph DiGirolamo; State Senator Tommy Tomlinson; State Representative Gene DiGirolamo; State Representative Steve Santarsiero; State Representative Tina Davis; Northampton Township Supervisor Dr. Kimberly Rose; Robin Wiessmann, former State Treasurer; and Marcel Groen, Chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Party to celebrate the invaluable service of Livengrin Foundation. 75th US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Livengrin President/CEO Richard M.

Timothy Geithner Supports Livengrin 75th United States Secretary of the Treasury As the 75th Secretary of the US Treasury, Timothy Geithner played a central role in formulating U.S. domestic and international economic policy during President Barack Obama’s first term. He was a principal architect of the president’s successful strategy to avert economic collapse and to reform the financial system, while also tackling a broad set of international economic challenges. Mr. Geithner was one of Time Magazine’s Most Influential People, and Forbes and GQ Magazines’ Most Powerful People in the World. Between 2003 and 2009, Mr. Geithner served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He first joined the Treasury Department in 1988 and held a number of positions in three administrations, including Undersecretary for International Affairs under Secretaries Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers. Mr. Geithner is currently President of Warburg Pincus and the author of STRESS TEST: Reflections on Financial Crises. Livengrin was honored to have Secretary Geithner as the special guest at our 48th Anniversary Celebration benefitting the First Responders Addiction Treatment (FRAT) program. Mr. Geithner and Andy Callaghan, FRAT Program Director, held a special Q&A at the event which covered topics ranging from First Responders to football. Livengrin deeply appreciates Mr. Geithner’s time and support for this event. Livengrin Foundation • 4833 Hulmeville Road • Bensalem, PA 19020 The Bridge Builder Josephine Sebben, the Story of a Livengrin Donor Giving back is a family value for Josephine Sebben of the Hansell Founders Council – whose members give over $10,000 annually to support Livengrin’s patients. Josephine was raised in a family that consistently reached out to communities in need. Josephine’s Dad, J. Don Miller, Administrator of Chestnut Hill Hospital from 1948 to 1977 was a Livengrin Foundation Board member and emphasized the importance of service to the community. Josephine feels very fortunate to be able to give back to those seeking recovery by supporting Livengrin. She loves watching the Foundation grow in the Philadelphia area (where she was raised). She is thrilled when new satellite offices have been added around the region. Josephine remarks how it is great that Livengrin is serving the community. She says there is always a need for addiction treatment – year in and year out. Josephine shares that she is, “glad to be able to make a contribution every year because Livengrin really did change my life and is still a huge part of my life.” Josephine Sebben, Hansell Josephine and her late husband Founders Council Member the Reverend Tom Sebben had always done mission work – which she continues to this day. Josephine volunteers her time at her church, here at Livengrin (with Development, Finance, Clinical and Dietary) and with Lend A Hand near Harrisburg, which reaches out to hurricane ravaged communities. For example, Josephine worked in communities hit by Hurricane Sandy. Livengrin is a particularly personal cause for Josephine. Her mother was a successful alumna of the Foundation. Her mother’s time in treatment made a tremendous positive difference in their lives. Josephine says, “I have supported Livengrin because our lives were so changed by my mother being in recovery.” Her mother had over a decade of recovery before, sadly, succumbing to ...glad to be able to make pancreatic cancer. “ a contribution every year because Livengrin really did change my life and is still a huge part of my life. As many know, the disease of addiction runs in families. Josephine, a retired nurse and teacher, the mother of 2 and grandmother of 1, sought the fellowship of AA in the 1990s. Josephine says she had followed the same pattern of addiction as her mother – beginning to drink in the same way and at the same age as her mother. Significantly, other AA Members were the first four people to call after she lost her husband Tom. Bucks County RDA Grant Livengrin is very pleased to announce that it will receive a generous infrastructure grant from the Bucks County Redevelopment Authority (RDA) of $260,475. The grant comes from the Authority’s Municipal Grant Program which is aimed at responding to any impact of gambling on the county. Livengrin, which was a sub-applicant to Bensalem Township for the grant, will use the funds at its inpatient campus to improve infrastructure so the organization is positioned to provide gambling education and counseling to those in need. We appreciate the support of local public officials and Livengrin Board members. Special thanks to Pennsylvania State Senator Tommy Tomlinson for his support for this grant which will benefit so many here in the county seeking help and education for gambling addiction and drug and alcohol addiction. Livengrin is also deeply appreciative to Pennsylvania State Representative Gene DiGirolamo, Bensalem Mayor Joseph DiGirolamo and Bensalem Township Council for their ongoing support of Livengrin’s mission for patients seeking recovery from addiction – which will be furthered by this funding related to gambling. We would also like to thank The Board of Bucks County Commissioners and the Bucks County Redevelopment Authority for this grant which will allow Livengrin to help even more citizens of the county.

The charity was started by The O’Neal Family in memory of Aaron O’Neal who had 6 miraculous years of recovery where he worked to help other alcoholics and addicts on an ongoing basis. Sean O’Neal writes of his brother’s recovery, “We witnessed a transformation when Aaron became sober. A man who would manipulate and steal from the people who loved him, became the man that would drop everything to help a complete stranger make it from his first day of sobriety to his second.” The mission of the organization AAmazing AAron is to help others reach transformation by providing the resources that gave Aaron an opportunity to change his life. Livengrin CEO Rick Pine; Livengrin Board Member Steve Leckerman; Nicole O’Neal, Sean O’Neal and Gail O’Neal of AAmazing AAron and Livengrin Vice President for Development Scott Blacker The Gratitude Meeting is held every Thanksgiving morning at Livengrin. This year, like others before it, several hundred people expressed their gratitude for the “miracle of recovery” and attended this inspirational and transformative meeting.

US POSTAGE PAID LANGHORNE, PA PERMIT #181 AFP Honors Livengrin Board Member In November, Livengrin Board Member Bruce Murray and his wife Ginny were honored by the Association of Fundraising Professionals with its 2014 Volunteer Fundraisers of the Year Award for their tireless work for Livengrin’s Alex Murray Intensive Care (AMICare) Program. Bruce Murray joined the Livengrin Board in 2013 and has been a vigorous Board member ever since. In 2012, Livengrin’s specialized treatment program for young adults was named in memory of the Murrays’ youngest son, Alex, who succumbed to the disease of addiction earlier that year. In only a few months, Bruce and Ginny personally raised over $250,000 for AMICare. The program uses a real world approach to treating patients between the ages of 18 and 26. The largest portion of the funding for AMICare came from the Agnes Varis Trust. The Association of Fundraising Professionals is the premier trade organization for people working in the field of philanthropy. The Murrays joined other prominent organizations being honored, including The Connelly Foundation, The Buerger Family, and The Independence Blue Cross Foundation.
