Shelton-based grief center, Adam’s House, will partner with Sperry Rail, Inc., the global leader in Rail Health® solutions, for The Great Give® on May 4 and 5.
SperryCares, Sperry’s charitable program, is generously donating $10,000 in matching gifts.
The Great Give® 2021 is the 12th major community-wide giving event benefiting Greater New Haven's nonprofits and occurring over an intense 36 hours from 8 a.m. May 4 to 8 p.m. May 5.
The Great Give® was created by The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven through its online resource known as giveGreater.org® to strengthen nonprofits serving Greater New Haven by advancing knowledge about their work and increasing giving to their organizations. More than $13.5 million has been raised since The Great Give® began.
“As we continue to support the community in which we operate, we are honored to partner with Adam’s House for The Great Give®. The work done at Adam’s House is so important to grieving children and families in this community. It is our hope that this $10,000 matching donation will incentivize other supporters to donate to Adam’s House, knowing that their donation will double,” said Sperry Rail CEO Jamie O’Rourke.
Adam’s House is open to serve bereaved children ages 5-18 and their caregivers in the form of an eight-week peer support group called ‘Helping Hearts Heal,’ offered free of charge.
“The funds we raise during The Great Give® are crucial for us to continue to offer our services at no-cost to grieving Connecticut residents. We are incredibly grateful to SperryCares for donating this immensely generous gift. We are confident that with the help of our supporters, volunteers, board members and donors, every dollar they donated will be matched to attain our $40,000 goal,” said Allison Wysota, Adam’s House executive director.
As we continue to deal with the existing and ongoing impacts of the pandemic, The Great Give® encourages people to “give where you live” by supporting the needs of our local businesses and community members.
The $10,000 donated by SperryCares will be used to match donations. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.
Those interested in supporting Adam’s House for The Great Give® initiative can visit: www.adamshousect.org/gg2021.

Shelton girl meets Katy Perry onstage at Mohegan Sun
 |
| Katy Perry and Gabriella Jones |
Katy and BGCA have joined together to help put millions of young people on the path to a great future; part of the venture included giving her fans a chance to see her live by showing their support of their local Boys & Girls Club.
The Valley's Boys & Girls Club was awarded 50 tickets for the concert at Mohegan Sun on Sept. 21, and the show was the second performance of Perry's brand new Witness tour.
At the concert, during a set which included planets and stars descending to stage level, Katy asked if any of her fans would like to help her wish upon a star.

After searching the audience, Katy selected Gabriella Jones, a member of the Raymond P. Lavietes Unit in Shelton.
Gabriella was wearing one of the special bright pink T-shirts made for the event, with a Boys & Girls Club logo on the front.
When Katy brought her on stage, she asked Gabriella to wish on the star and to say what she wished for so that people could support her in her wish.

After a moment of thought, Gabriella responded, “To pray for all the people that suffered from the hurricanes.”
The crowd went wild, and Katy noted that Gabriella had been “brought up right,” and with the audience, Katy and Gabriella sent love and support to all those affected by the hurricanes.
As part of the partnership with Katy Perry, $1 of every ticket purchased is donated to Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
