For nearly two decades, Moffly Media’s Light a Fire Awards have celebrated the unsung heroes in our community who go above and beyond to help those in need. This year, actor/director James Naughton once again hosted the evening, bringing his wit and grace to the stage of the Westport Country Playhouse. The sponsors that made the event possible were Karl Chevrolet, Coastal Bridge Advisors and Cummings & Lockwood. Honorees represented the incredible work of longstanding nonprofits like the Make a Wish Foundation and the Fairfield County Community Foundation, as well as grassroots organizations including The Undies Project, The Loved Movement and Greenwich Point Conservancy. Each of them reminds us that one person can indeed make a difference.
