MORRISTOWN, N.J., Oct. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Pat Sullivan, Managing Director of Private Advisor Group in Morristown, N.J., won the 2018 Invest in Others Lifetime Achievement Award, one of seven awards presented on September 27 at the 12th annual Invest in Others Awards Gala in Boston. Pat earned the honor for his charitable work with Good Grief, which received a $50,000 donation from the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation.

"I could have never imagined that the effort I put into building Good Grief would have such an impact on the community and my own life," said Pat.

When Pat Sullivan joined the Board of a new nonprofit in his community as Treasurer in 2004, he had little idea how transformative his service with Good Grief would be for him and his family. Good Grief provides free programs to children and families after the death of a mom, dad, sister or brother; educates schools and professionals about loss; and advocates for grieving families locally and throughout the country.

Initially, Pat was drawn to the organization's mission because he suffered the loss of his own mother at an early age and did not have resources available to help him cope with such a tremendous loss. Over time, though, Pat's appreciation for the work deepened as he realized that Good Grief changes lives by providing grieving families with hope and comfort in their darkest hours. Families are able to access such services -- often for free -- thanks to the tireless work Pat has committed over the past years.

"When I look back at where our incredible mission was in 2007 and see what it has become today, Pat Sullivan is the cornerstone to it all. His achievements should be celebrated both within his profession as Invest in Others has done, and within the communities that have benefited from his leadership and generosity right here in New Jersey," said Good Grief's CEO Joe Primo, who has been with the organization since 2007.

"Pat's involvement in this organization is just one example of how Private Advisor Group as an organization works hard to give back," said John Hyland, co-founder of Private Advisor Group. "We encourage all of our employees to get involved. It is so meaningful. We are so proud of Pat and the tremendous work he has done for others."
