Lane Sieman of Long Beach Honored at ACLD Foundation Golf Outing

July 27, 2018; Long Beach, NY – Nearly 250 people recently gathered at Glen Head Country Club in Glen Head, NY for the ACLD Foundation 2018 Annual Golf Outing, which raised more than $155,000 to benefit Bethpage-headquartered Adults and Children with Learning and Developmental Disabilities, Inc. (ACLD) along with the services as well as programs it provides for adults and children with autism, learning and developmental disabilities.

This year’s Golf Outing honoree was Lane Sieman of Long Beach, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Long Beach-based Chem Rx Pharmacy Services, a long-term care pharmacy servicing the medication- related needs of people in residential supportive apartments and homes, intermediate care, adult day care, assisted living and skilled nursing care facilities. With the launch of ACLD’s Telemedicine Program in 2017, Chem Rx has been an integral partner in helping to decrease unnecessary emergency room visits for adults residing in ACLD community residences and apartments, which is why Mr. Sieman was selected as this year’s Golf Outing honoree. The two organizations have been working together for nearly three years.

An ardent supporter of people of different abilities, Mr. Sieman spoke of his early life experiences while accepting his award that included his mother being a special education teacher and the fond memories of volunteering for the Special Olympics while growing up in the midwest.

“ACLD Foundation is truly grateful of Lane’s support, friendship and commitment to our future,” said Alan Spiegel, ACLD Foundation President. “Lane has embraced the mission of providing opportunities for children and adults with autism, learning and developmental disabilities to pursue enviable lives, promote independence and foster supportive relationships within their communities.”
