SUNY Jamestown Community College’s 2026 Foundation Awards Gala is scheduled for Nov. 12 at the Old Library Restaurant in Olean.
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Cattaraugus County Campus, the JCC Foundation will honor James Stitt Jr., vice president and CEO of CUTCO, and community civic leader Susanna Stitt with the John D. Hamilton Award.
Bryan Hodgson, head coach of the Providence College men’s basketball team, and Karen McGovern-Graham, senior vice president for communications, development and employee wellness for Intandem, will be recognized as Distinguished Alumnus Award winners.
The Foundation will also pay tribute to Nurse of Distinction honoree Nicole Steinhauer Crowley, who is a forensic coordinator and American Hospital Association education lead at UPMC Kane.
Rounding out the festivities will be a Diamond Draw, giving guests the chance to win a $4,800 diamond necklace generously donated by ASK Design Jewelers.
Presented by AssuredPartners, the event begins at 5 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. Dinner will be served at 6 p.m., followed by the award presentations.
