A Great Success—New Record Set

Silver stars and streamers filled the air at the Hartford Golf Club as 375 guests gathered for the Children’s Charity Ball on January 18, 2014.  The theme for the 15th annual gala was “Reach for the Stars”—what the Bridge hopes to inspire in the lives of the children and families it serves.

United Technologies was the Presenting Sponsor for the event.  Peter and Cynthia Gutermann, UTC Propulsion & Aerospace Systems, were the Honorary Chairs for the gala.  Channel 3 TV personality, Scot Haney, was the host for the 13th year in a row, and “Timmy Maia” entertained guests.

The Diamond Sponsor was Allstate and the Sapphire Sponsors were All Waste, Inc., eBenefits Group Northeast, The Farmington Company, ING, The McInerney Family, Reid and Riege, P.C., Robinson & Cole LLP, Stop & Shop, and UTC Aerospace Systems.

The Bridge Family Center is grateful to a committed and creative group of women who planned the gala; to hundreds of businesses and individuals who sponsored the event or donated items to the silent and live auctions; and to many individuals who made monetary donations to support the gala.  The event netted more than $270,000—a new record—for Bridge programs for children and families.
