Q&A: New Canaan CARES Annual ‘Home Tour’ Set for May 24
|
The New Canaan CARES annual Home Tour—one of the most hotly anticipated, unique and interactive fundraisers in town—is scheduled for May 24 (patron party May 18). We put some questions to Jessica Huetter, chair of the nonprofit organization’s Board of Directors, in advance of the Home Tour.
Here’s our exchange. New Canaanite: For our readers who may not be familiar with New Canaan CARES, could you please tell us about the organization, its history and what you all do. Jessica Huetter: New Canaan CARES is a local non-profit organization whose mission is to empower youth, strengthen families and build community. We offer a variety of programs throughout the year aimed at this mission, including both high school and middle school leadership programs, social skill building at the elementary schools and presentations for parents on a range of topics including social media, anti-vaping, childhood anxiety and much more.
