A local non-profit organization based in Setauket has faced scrutiny after hosting a fundraiser to honor an individual accused of serious misconduct. The event, promoted as a celebration of contributions to the organization, has raised concerns among community members and supporters. Questions now surround the group’s judgment in platforming someone with a controversial background. Details on the allegations and the organization’s response remain under examination.
Long Island Youth Development, Inc., a Setauket-based non-profit headed by Dr. Yanping Yu, shockingly hosted and promoted a fundraiser for Kassay earlier this month to “celebrate the contributions” Kassay had secured for the non-profit.
