Strawberry Fields Incorporated

As the CEO of Strawberry Fields, Cindy Pasquinelli says, “leading Strawberry Fields has been an honor and a privilege of a lifetime. She has dedicated her career to advancing the rights of and creating opportunities for people with disabilities and their families. A graduate of PSU, Cindy earned her master’s degree in public administration in 1985. Under her leadership and direction, SFI has grown into a well-respected nonprofit that employs over 200 staff who serve more than 800 individuals and families in Centre and HMJ counties. SFI has expanded its services and developed many community collaborations, including Good Day Cafe, a coffee shop that employs adults with disabilities. As SFI prepares to celebrate its 50th Anniversary, the mission is as relevant today as it was in 1972. “To help create an inclusive world, where people with disabilities direct their own lives, establish homes, find meaningful work, pursue education alongside their non-disabled peers, and fill valued roles in the community”.
