Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) had a huge turnout for its annual Spring Luncheon—600 enthusiastic supporters at the Hyatt in Old Greenwich along with more than 100 virtual viewers. PPFA past President Cecile Richards, legendary fighter for reproductive freedom, was honored posthumously with the Community Impact Award; and speaker Stacey Abrams, voting rights activist and the first Black woman ever to become the gubernatorial nominee for a major party, received a standing ovation. Co-chairs were Susan Beyman, Keri Cameron, Jane Carlin, Lindy Lilien and Mini Nunna. It raised a record $1.4 million in support of reproductive healthcare for 52,000 patients across Connecticut and Rhode Island. plannedparenthood.org
