Clifton Park, N.Y., May 24th, 2016—Annese & Associates, Inc., a technology solutions integrator, hosted the Grand Opening celebration for its new office in East Syracuse on May 19th at the company’s Pioneer Business Park address. Annese welcomed employees, customers, partners, members of the media, local dignitaries, and The CenterState CEO, who presented Annese with a certificate to celebrate its relocation and contributions to the economic development of Central New York.

To commemorate the occasion and celebrate Annese’s connection to the local community, the event featured a silent auction to benefit The Campaign for Pediatric Emergency Department (ED) Expansion and Renovation at Upstate Foundation University Hospital. Additionally, Annese presented the Foundation with a $5,000 check to sponsor a Workstation on Wheels (WoW) Charging Alcove in the new Pediatric ED which is moving out of the adult ED to a separate and distinct location on the fourth floor of Upstate University Hospital.

“Annese is deeply committed to the communities which we serve,” said Executive VP & CFO, Jeff Fasoldt. “We are guided by the principles of our founder, Frank Annese, who believed that we have a responsibility to help make the world a better place. Annese was founded in Central New York and has maintained strong ties to the region over the past four decades. Having this opportunity to give back to a community pillar such as Upstate University Hospital is very rewarding for us.”

“We thank Annese & Associates, Inc. for this generous gift and sharing our vision for a new Pediatric Emergency Department at Upstate University Hospital. The new Pediatric ED will mirror the warm, caring, and family-friendly environment of Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital and its ‘children are not just small adults’ credo,” said Terry Toscano Shenfeld, Corporate Development Officer, Upstate Foundation (pictured above, alongside Annese’s Jeff Fasoldt and Yvonne Annese LoRe).

This new pediatric ED will provide the physical space needed to develop a fully separate and self-sufficient child and family-friendly pediatric emergency care unit. Upstate’s Pediatric ED has been the hub of the region’s pediatric emergency services since the 1980s and is the region’s only dedicated Pediatric ED and Level I Trauma Center.
