Honoring

Mike and Courtney Baroni
Baroni Recycling 

Learn More About The Baronis

Mike and Courtney Baroni are the owners of two established scrap metal recycling facilities in Dutchess County. Mike began his career in the scrap metal industry more than 40 years ago, gaining operational expertise and building trusted relationships across the industry. Sixteen years ago, he and Courtney combined their experience, vision and work ethic to open their first facility together, laying the foundation for a respected and community-focused operation.

Today, their work is driven not only by their dedication to their businesses but also their role as parents. Their six-year-old son Michael has strengthened their commitment to supporting organizations that protect and uplift children, including The Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse (CPCA). The Baroni family was introduced to the CPCA five years ago, and since then, they have considered it a blessing to support the organization’s vital mission and will continue elevating this partnership for years to come.

Dr. Nicholas and Megan Spaccarelli

Learn More About The Spaccarellis

Nicholas and Megan Spaccarelli are honored to support the Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse (CPCA), an organization close to their hearts. Business partners and spouses for nearly 19 years, they own and operate two veterinary practices and manage multiple commercial and residential real estate properties throughout the Hudson Valley and beyond.

Deeply rooted in family and community, Nicholas and Megan are proud parents to three wonderful daughters and are grateful to have their large extended family nearby in the Hudson Valley. They previously lived in St. Kitts, where they formed lifelong friendships and continue to maintain strong ties. Each winter, they spend time at their home in Costa Rica, embracing nature, animals, and meaningful family time away from technology.

Their involvement with CPCA began three years ago, and Megan proudly joined the Board of Directors this January. In addition to supporting numerous CPCA events and fundraising initiatives, Nicholas and Megan provide pro bono veterinary care for Peace, CPCA’s beloved therapy dog. They also co-founded Paws and Pours in partnership with Benmarl Winery, an annual event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for CPCA. This coming year will mark the third annual celebration.

Nicholas and Megan are deeply grateful to be part of CPCA’s mission and remain committed to strengthening and supporting children and families in their community.
