Greenacres resident Andrew Sereysky has been named the 2025 recipient of the prestigious Scarsdale Bowl, awarded annually since 1943 to individuals who have “given unselfishly of time, energy, and effort to the civic welfare of the community.”

Since moving to Scarsdale in 1994, Sereysky’s extensive volunteer work has spanned a wide range of organizations, reflecting many aspects of village life. Notable among these are the Greenacres Neighborhood Association, the Cable Television Commission, and the Advisory Council on Communications. He has also contributed his time and expertise to the CNC Procedure Committee, SNAP, the Citizens Nominating Committee, the Scarsdale Forum, the Procedure Committee, the School Board Nominating Committee as Administration Chairman, the Scarsdale Bowl Committee, STEP, and the Board of the Scarsdale Foundation. Sereysky has also dedicated many years to coaching youth sports teams in the community.

The Scarsdale Foundation also announced the recipient of the Spotlight Award, introduced in 2023 to honor exceptional contributions in a specific area. This year’s award goes to Scarsdale Adult School, celebrated for its 87-year tradition of fostering community through lifelong learning.

Both honorees will be celebrated at the Bowl Dinner on Thursday, April 24.
