Transformation Through Connection came to life at FLACRA’s 4th Annual Gala! 💚
Marci Hopkins, Our award-winning Author and TV Host of Wake Up with Marci shared a beautiful, deeply personal story of her experience with alcoholism, the strength she found in recovery, and the hope she offers others. Her words reminded us how powerful can be in helping people transform their lives.
Our CEO, Jen Carlson, celebrated the partners and sponsors who make our work possible and recognized the Ontario County Sheriffs Office as FLACRA’s 2026 Partner of the Year.
A special thank-you to our emcee, Carrie Hessney-Doran, of Hessney Auction Company, LTD. who kept the evening flowing and led a successful Fund-a-Need paddle raise, turning our guests’ generosity into support for the people we serve.
To everyone who attended, donated, sponsored, and helped bring this evening together: thank you. You are part of the connection that makes transformation possible.
