Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) drew a crowd of over 500 enthusiastic supporters—both virtually and in person—to its annual Spring Luncheon at the Hyatt in Old Greenwich. Our Connecticut Attorney General William Tong, avowed fighter for reproductive freedom, was honored with the Community Impact Award; and Speaker Barbara Pierce Bush, co-founder of Global Health Corps, had a lively conversation on stage with journalist Sam Lansky. All drew standing ovations. Co-chairing the event were Susan Beyman, Jane Carlin, Lindy Lilien and Mini Nunna. It raised a record $1.55 million in support of reproductive healthcare for 60,000 patients across Connecticut and Rhode Island. plannedparenthood.org
