2022 AWARDS & POLICY LUNCHEON
October 6, 2022

About the Event

The Rhode Island Coalition for Children and Families brought together community human service and health providers with corporate, government, and philanthropic leaders at our 2022 Awards and Policy Luncheon at the Providence Marriott Downtown on October 6, 2022. First initiated in 2018 and suspended during the COVID-19 epidemic, our event celebrated the work of our sector in promoting the safety, health, and success of children, youth, and families. The luncheon was an opportunity to hear from a leader in our field, honor key elected officials and lift up particular legislative actions, and recognize the contributions of key corporate and philanthropic champions. Please see below for more on this wonderful event.
