Guests learned about the Agency’s mission and outcomes and heard firsthand experiences from two current college students, who participated in ASPIRE, FCA’s after-school program for Norwalk middle and high school students, and are recipients of FCA’s Sullivan-Kindler College Scholarship.
“It’s amazing to follow the journey of these young women and hear their stories of growth and triumph, all thanks to the tools and resources they’ve gained from FCA,” said Lisa Lillie, FCA’s Chairman of the Board. “The positive footprint FCA is leaving in our community is not only inspiring, but transformative in the of lives children & families, youth, adults and seniors in the community in Norwalk, Fairfield County and beyond.”
The event, co-chaired by Wilton residents, Audrey Andrew and Maria Wilcox, raised more than $350,000 to support FCA programs and services and was attended by Norwalk Mayor & First Lady Harry and Lucia Rilling and Commissioner of Department of Children and Families, Joette Katz.
“We could not have dreamed of a more successful and well-received 75th celebration for the Agency and we are confident about the support, impact and outcomes for our families in the years ahead,” said Cashel.
