2011 Spirit of Hope Event

Andrew McDonald received the 2011 Spirit of Hope Award at the 4th Annual Spirit of Hope Benefit. The evening's net proceeds of $123,000 will be used to develop 4 Elmcrest Terrace in Norwalk into supportive housing for mothers in recovery.  Virginia Bantle cut the ribbon on a rendering of 'Gini's House' so named for her, as the project was championed by her and her husband as the first Spirit of Hope recipients.  (click on photo to view additional pictures)

"I had a terrific visit to the Families In Recovery Program and was fortunate to share a meal with the clients there. I was impressed with the caring staff, the home-like environment, and the women themselves who are bravely facing their addictions. It was clear that FIRP was providing these women and their children with the tools they'll need to overcome their challenges."  -Mary Himes, wife of Congressman Jim Himes.

Mrs. Himes currently serves as an Honorary Co-Chair for Liberation Programs' Spirit of Hope benefit which raises funds to enhance treatment services for women and provide permanent supportive housing to families.
