A Sophisticated Palette 2021 – Thank You

Our 2021 “A Sophisticated Palette” was a smashing success. A big thank you to all that attended and helped make this year so special. As a community health organization, we are reliant upon the support of those around us who believe the work is valuable and beneficial.
We had the opportunity to recognize a few individuals that evening, who have been foundational in their support of CCWS. This year, we recognized William Bender and Kevin Murphy for years of service and support to our mission.
Special thanks to our Event Committee Barbara Waller and Liz Taylor, and to CCWS Board members Tim Gruesel, Ed Babiarz, Susan Denaro, Ben Watts, and Louise Souders.
And as always, the beautiful The Inn at Centre Park, Dennis Spotts and his staff created a magical night, delicious food and perfect backdrop for our guests. We are so grateful for all of those who continue to show their support to our mission and would like to thank all of the sponsors and individuals who came together to make “A Sophisticated Palette” 2021 possible.
