We would like to express our appreciation to an amazing team of volunteers who created and donated the gorgeous centerpieces: Pam DeStefano, Jen Elia, Suzanne Knutson, Diane Kuczo, Allison McHugh, Kristy Snyder, Lana Taubin and Diane Wilson. A warm thank you to our event donors: the Coffeys, the Dineens, the DiRoccos, the Gioffres, the Higginses, the Kahals, the Leungs, and the McDermotts. And a special thank you to Beth Culnane, Buffy Goodwin and Erin Woolard who spent countless hours creating the bulk of the gorgeous centerpieces for the silent auction.
