One of Long Island’s most dynamic and innovative business leaders, Anton is equally well regarded for her extensive contributions to the philanthropic community. Among the many local organizations that have benefitted from her participation are the American Liver Foundation of Greater New York, North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center, Theodore Roosevelt Council Boy Scouts of America, EAC Network, and Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America. Additionally, she serves on the Nassau County Film Advisory Board and is a member of the WLIW Committee of WNET.org board of trustees.

For Anton, giving back to the community is a natural extension of her work life as publisher of an acclaimed group of community newspapers with a weekly readership of some 150,000 readers. “I always felt there was a need for community newspapers to be involved with charities,” she said, explaining, “I think it’s a way of reaching out to the communities we serve.”

Anton, a life-long Long Islander, is the mother of three children. She resides in Merrick.

The museum is located at One Museum Drive in Roslyn Harbor, New York.
