A Special Tribute… CURE’s 2011 New York State Man Of The Year: George F. Aney

This year’s benefit will pay tribute to George F. Aney, who has been named CURE’s “New York State 2011 Man of the Year” for his extraordinary public awareness and fundraising efforts throughout the Mohawk Valley on behalf of the organization.

George Farber Aney is the son of Edna and Duane H. Aney, brother of Duane, Lyle, and Doris, beloved uncle to his many nieces and nephews,  a loyal friend and generous benefactor. George F. Aney will be honored for the impact he has had on the lives of so many, and in particular the difference that he is making in increasing awareness of epilepsy and raising funds for research.

Born and raised in Herkimer County, George attended Van Hornesville Central School, St. Lawrence University, and Syracuse University College of Law.

Upon completing his education, George returned to Herkimer County to practice law. His professional reputation has earned him recognition throughout the state as an outstanding trial lawyer.  Despite his busy law practice, George also finds time for numerous community and charitable activities.

George’s travels throughout the world have brought him into contact with heads of state and international celebrities, including his close friend, the late Mstislav Rostropovich, yet his heart remains here in Central New York, close to the farm he grew up on and the people most important to him.

Please join us in thanking George for showing us all how to live a life of purpose and commitment and demonstrating how to be the CURE.
