New Canaan Community Foundation’s annual luncheon was a sold-out literary affair. Andrea Elliott, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist discussed her critically acclaimed book, Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival, and Hope in an American City. The story follows the life of Dasani Coates, who joined the writer onstage, and her struggle to escape the homeless system. Proceeds help provide grants and facilitate charitable giving. newcanaancf.org
