Giving students a better chance, ABC New Canaan held a spring fundraiser to benefit its college-prep program. Enjoying an evening of cocktails, dinner and dancing at the annual fete, the close-knit group of scholars, host families, board members, staff and volunteers celebrated the success of its talented students. The family-oriented organization, which provides educational opportunities to young men of color, covers academic and living expenses for all ABC students. abchouseofnc.org
