The Junior League of Greenwich (JLG) proudly made and delivered 300 sandwiches for children in after-school programs at the Boys & Girls Club, Kids in Crisis, and Barbara’s House. This initiative ensured that children in these programs received proper nutrition while focusing on their studies and activities.
This effort was made possible thanks to generous donations from Neri’s Bakery, which provided the buns, and Acme Markets, which contributed meat and cheese. The JLG also relies on its 500 dedicated volunteers, who contribute to projects ranging from single-day events to long-term initiatives that leave a lasting impact. Notable projects include:
- The Greenwich Pool at Byram Park, a community resource for families to enjoy.
- The Playground at Bruce Park, offering children a safe and fun place to play.
- The Children’s Day School, supporting early childhood education.
- Kids In Crisis, providing critical services to children in need.
And many more!

Cultural Alliance FC FC Buzz Weekend of Art & Culture at Stamford Center for the Arts - The Palace Theatre on Friday Jan 10, 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
BOTE is the most exact interpretation of the music of the Eagles in America, bar none! Each member mirrors his counterpart in the Eagles instrumentally and vocally. However, this is no simple copy band or impersonator act, but rather a group of excellent musicians who expertly and authentically re-create the songs, the music, the vocals, and the magical aura of one of America’s greatest rock bands. After selling out many venues in the region including the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ, BOTE looks forward to sharing a great night of Eagles hits.

In March 2020, Mairead and David Finn lost their daughter Vivienne to an inoperable brain tumor known as Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). She was 11 years old. To honor her life, Vivienne’s brother Connor organized the 2024 Holiday Fundraiser for 10 – 18-year-old patients at Yale New Haven Children's Hospital (YNHCH). Through their efforts, the Finn family eclipsed their $25,000 fundraising goal, bringing in $27,550, as well as an array of gifts from an Amazon wish list.
YNHCH will use the proceeds to enhance the pediatric oncology patient experience for children admitted to the hospital. The fundraiser is a continuation of the Luke McQuillan Fundraiser which began in 2017 after Luke’s own battle with cancer at the age of eight. Vivienne was one of the children positively impacted by Luke’s donations. She received a pair of headphones, and she liked to listen to music during her chemotherapy treatments.
A Greenwich High School graduate and now a busy college student, Luke passed the torch to Connor and the Finn family in 2023, who are now carrying on the tradition of giving gifts to children with life-threatening diseases. In the Finn families’ first year, they raised nearly $35,000.
The Finn family presented the check to Asher Marks, MD, director of pediatric neuro-oncology, YNHCH, associate professor of Pediatrics, Yale School of Medicine (YSM), and Vidya Puthenpura, MD, MHS, pediatric hematology-oncologist, YNHCH and assistant professor of Pediatrics, YSM, at the YNHCH Pediatric Specialty Center in Greenwich at 500 W. Putnam Avenue. Drs. Marks and Puthenpura played pivotal roles in Vivienne’s care and the Finn family wanted to extend their appreciation.
There was a strong showing of support by attendees who included Connor’s friends and classmates from the Brunswick School and Vivienne’s friend from King School in Stamford. Mairead also expressed her gratitude to Eastern Middle School in Riverside, Sacred Heart of Greenwich, Hackley School in Tarrytown, NY and the Frederick Gunn School in Washington, CT these institutions have helped keep Vivienne’s memory alive through their generous donations and efforts to raise awareness about pediatric cancer.
