09/13/2018 12:01 AMIn less than three weeks, we’ll be honoring 15 locals who have made a big difference in our communities. The sixth annual Beacon Awards will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at Water’s Edge Resort in Westbrook.
We are quickly approaching our ticket deadline of Wednesday, Sept. 26. If you know one of these 15 wonderful people, you’ll know why you should consider attending this elegant gala evening!
This year’s awardees are Elizabeth Abernathy, Judith Barron, Nelson Bernabucci, Emi Bisson, Melissa Carney, Gerri Giordano, Jean Kelley, Tom Lindner, Catherine Mathis, Tobie Meisel, Edward Pellegrino, Wayne Sandford, John Saville, Carol Stewart, and June Vigliotto.
The mission of the Beacon Awards is to recognize individuals who have selflessly stepped up to help fulfill the shoreline community’s promise as a place of opportunity, wellbeing, and safety for all. This award ceremony takes the intimidation of speech-giving out of the equation for our winners as we show a short film about their efforts. All we ask them to do is to sit back and watch as we honor and thank them for all they’ve done. And you can be right there with them.
The Beacon Awards are a chance for you to witness and celebrate the generosity of 15 wonderful individuals from across our shoreline. The event is heartwarming and filled with laughter (and the occasional tear). Water’s Edge treats our winners and our guests to a phenomenal dinner while we get to dote on some truly remarkable people. I hope you can join us. Tickets can be purchased at www.beaconawardsct.com.
