2026 Crouse Health Tribute Evening

The Crouse Health Foundation is proud to honor Melanie Littlejohn, an accomplished civic leader and champion for community impact, at the 49th Annual Crouse Health Tribute Evening on Friday, October 2, at Turning Stone Resort Casino.

Melanie is President and CEO of the Central New York Community Foundation, where she leads efforts to turn donor generosity into lasting community change. She previously spent nearly 30 years with National Grid, most recently as Vice President of Customer & Community Engagement, advancing initiatives in community relations, social equity, environmental justice, and workforce development.

A deeply engaged civic leader, Melanie serves in key roles across Central New York, including co-chair of the Micron Community Engagement Committee, vice chair and trustee of Onondaga Community College, and board member of CenterState CEO and Pathfinder Bank. She currently serves on 20 nonprofit boards and is widely recognized for her leadership and service.

Join us for an elegant evening of reception, dinner, and musical entertainment as we celebrate Melanie’s extraordinary impact. Proceeds benefit the Crouse Health Foundation, supporting exceptional care and wellness in our community.
