Annual Gala 2024: A Night to Remember

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s Annual Gala was a tremendous success! The evening was filled with inspiring stories, heartfelt moments, and a strong sense of community that brought everyone together to celebrate the mission we hold so dear.

A Night of Inspiration

Our keynote speaker, Marc Fucarile, captivated the audience with his powerful journey, reminding us all of the resilience and strength within the human spirit. His story moved us and left an everlasting impact on everyone in attendance.

Honoring Our Heroes

We took the time to honor some exceptional individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to our community:

  • Brian Grace, recipient of the Board Member of the Year award, presented by John Casey.
  • Connor Wright, awarded Humanitarian of the Year, gave a touching speech dedicated to his grandmother, Sharon.
  • Rob Toro and Toro Construction received the Business of the Year award, presented by Rob Klein.

A Special Thanks

We are incredibly grateful to Winchester Hospital, our Legacy Sponsor, for their ongoing support. A gracious toast led by Matt Hinkle reminded us of the strength of partnerships and the impact we can make together.

Fundraising Success

The silent auction was one of the highlights of the night, helping us raise essential funds for Connor’s Kindness. A standout moment was the collaborative gift of scratch tickets and gift cards, which was auctioned off for an incredible $1,000!

Teamwork in Action

Events like these wouldn’t be possible without the hard work and dedication of our team and board members. A special shout-out to:

  • Jodi Crowley, who went above and beyond to help with setup and guest registration.
  • Joe Feriolito, who jumped in to assist with registration without hesitation.

It’s this spirit of teamwork and collaboration that makes our Board and our organization so special.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate the success of this year’s Gala, we’re already planning for next year. With fresh ideas and improvements in the works, we’re committed to creating even more impactful events in 2025.

Thank you to everyone who attended, contributed, and supported this event. Together, we’re building something extraordinary.
