Over 600 PCR members, families, friends, and supporters gathered on Saturday evening April 14th at our 22nd Annual Patricia Sullivan Benefit Dinner. Under the creative leadership of Benefit Co-Chairs Maria Teresa Guadalupe, Lizzy Medeiros, Kate Riley, Laura Ryan, and Fr. John, we enjoyed a fun-filled evening and raised $550,000 for PCR.

We recognized Vince Burke with the Patricia Sullivan Leadership Award and Bob Johnson, President of Natelli Homes with the Outstanding Community Partner Award. Lizzy Demaree received the award for Outstanding Adult Volunteer, Aidan McLoughlin and Kate McLoughlin were both recognized with awards as Outstanding Youth Volunteers, and Mark Rosenfeld received the Outstanding PCR Program Leader Award. In a surprise addition to the program, Joan and Jim Sullivan made a special presentation to PCR Executive Director Steve Riley recognizing his ten years of service.

A special guest appearance by acclaimed local garage band “Long Lost Cousins” kicked off the evening’s entertainment, and we danced the night away to the music of “Bittersweet.”

PCR is grateful to everyone who attended, and to the many other generous donors whose support made our 22nd Annual Patricia Sullivan Benefit Dinner such a great success. Thank you!!
