Carmen Aquilone Day Center

CP will bring the sunscreen and the charcoal for our annual series of summertime picnics and bbqs around New York City. The people we support, their families, and CP staff will be on hand to dance, grill, play, eat, and enjoy the time together.
The CP team always invites local leaders and friends to stop by and say hello, grab a bite, and join in the celebration! Our Residential team and Day Habilitation programs will join together to celebrate and we hope you can join us at our Carmel Aquilone Center for this special event.
