Salomon Smith Barney Renews Support

Salomon Smith Barney Renews Support for Wheelchair Athletes

The Long Island Wheelchair Athletic Club reached out for support once again last month¬this time from the Express 5 Kilometer Run to raise money in support of local wheelchair athletics¬and once again the investment firm of Salomon Smith Barney stepped forward to lend a hand. Salomon Smith Barney donated $2,500 to cover the cost of the T-shirts that were presented to each competitor in the recent run, thus ensuring the event's success.

Pictured here getting ready for the run are (rear, from left): Salomon Smith Barney Executive Vice President, Marc A. Sieben; Regional Administrator Lisa Bardenhagen; Senior Vice President Vincent J. Brienzo; (front, from left): Wheelchair Athletic Club Vice President Nick Katsounis; Long Island Junior Wheelchair Champion Jesse Walsh; and Wheelchair Athletic Club Executive Board member Ed Waluk.

"Salomon Smith Barney has,once again stepped forward as a business with a heart," said Wheelchair Athletic Club Vice President Nick Katsounis. "They are wonderful people who have time and again proved to be good friends to the disabled here on Long Island."

The funding for the Wheelchair Athletic Club came out of Salomon Smith Barney's New York Suburban Regional office, located in the Jericho Quadrangle in Jericho.
