"All Aboard ARC" winner announced

Denise Cournoyer of Webster, MA was the deserving raffle winner of an I Pad through her family’s volunteer participation in soliciting funding towards the Statewide “All Aboard the Arc!” campaign to support the 17 Arcs in Massachusetts who serve people with intellectual, developmental and other disabilities. She is seen here with her Mom, Linda, a tireless advocate for her daughter and other people with disabilities; Jim Howard, Executive Director of the Center of Hope Foundation, the Arc in south central Mass; Marie Barse, Recruitment Manager of the campaign and Cindy Howard, Director of Admin Services. For every $300.00 raised towards the event, participants names were added into the statewide pool.

Denise is especially deserving of this item, as a person with limited verbal communication. I Pads have become a wonderful tool in the education and communication needs of people with a variety of disability issues. Congratulations, Denise! Denise and Linda want to thank all of those family and friends who supported them in their efforts to raise $2,500.00 to benefit the Center of Hope Foundation.
