It is with deep appreciation and heartfelt sadness that we share the passing of our longtime chapter volunteer, Eric Haracz. Eric was a steady and generous presence in the CHADD community, serving for many years as the chapter coordinator for CHADD of Suffolk County New York, and most recently as the co-founder and chapter coordinator of Southeast Florida CHADD. A special education teacher professionally, he also served as an instructor for CHADD’s Parent to Parent training program. Eric regularly visited chapter events in other regions and graciously donated his time, talents, and money to help support and empower the ADHD community. Eric was the recipient of the 2014 CHADD Volunteer Leadership Award. His impact was felt deeply by those who were served by him. As his nominator wrote:
Eric embodied passion, dedication, and a genuine spirit of service. He was someone who always showed up, stepped in, and made a difference in ways both seen and unseen. We are grateful for the time, energy, and commitment he shared with us. Our thoughts are with Eric’s family, friends, and everyone he helped over the years. To honor Eric’s memory and love for CHADD, his family invites you to consider a donation to CHADD.
