Other New Canaan businesses such as elm restaurant contributed food prepared by Executive Chef Luke Venner and Blow outs were offered by Studio Elan. Resident PJ Marcella provided sparkling refreshment with One Hope Wine. Special thanks to Lisa Dunn for her decadent chocolate truffles and Lydia Clay of Beauty Counter.
"I was delighted to see such strong, local support for AFH. The paintings the children created were exceptional and when you hear about their personal struggles, it is truly remarkable. We were delighted to be involved and hope this is the first of many fundraisers."
