The Richstone Family Center celebrated its 50th Anniversary by honoring Dorothy Courtney, its longest-serving CEO, at a sold-out dinner at Sony Pictures Studios on Saturday, April 20. During Courtney’s 24 years of leadership, Richstone grew from a “small home in Hawthorne with a chinchilla farm out back,” serving 35 local families, to a 12,000-square-foot facility serving thousands of families. During the evening Richstone CEO Roger Van Remmen announced the formation of the Dorothy Courtey Institute, where future therapists will be trained. The gala raised over $1 million.
