Special Thanks To:
With Heartfelt Gratitude, an evening like this simply does not happen without an extraordinary group of people working behind the scenes, giving their time, talents, ideas and hearts to the Andrew McMorris Foundation. We are incredibly grateful to Corri Coogan, who helped bring Andrew’s art and our theme, One Life Can Still Color the World, to life through tonight’s beautiful centerpieces; To One More Once Jazz Ensemble and to Amanda Hawthorne for her live painting this evening. To our steadfast volunteers and advisor board members Anthony J. Higgins, Melissa Levonick, Louis Parinello, Richard Mallow, Tyler Senneca, Adelaide Merz, Honore Cavaco, Chris DiPaola, and our entire AMF Board, including our newest members Kathyrn Yakaboski and Sofia Morano for the countless ways you have stepped up, pitched in and helped make not only this evening, but the work of our Foundation, possible. We also want to recognize a very special group of people who help us carry one of the most meaningful parts of Andrew’s legacy forward , our AMF Scholarship Committee. Our deepest thanks to Dawn Schaefer, Kim DiPaola, Matt & Julianne Licari, Desi & Mitch Meyer, Marianne & Chris McMorris, Heather & Chris Abatelli, Kathryn Yakaboski, Dr. Monica Srodon, Stephen Canter, Anne Delp, Lou Parinello, Eric DiLisio, Anthony J.

To every volunteer, Board member, committee member, donor, friend and family member who has given your time, your talents and your heart to AMF: thank you.
Andrew’s story may have started with our family, but this Foundation has never belonged only to us. It belongs to all of you who continue to carry his colors into the world.
