Congratulations to Kevin McKenna! He is the proud recipient of the 2025 Angel Fund Award. We are so grateful that Molly Howell and Alana Howell could present Kevin with his award this evening. We were so happy to have Aunt Maureen Silvers in the audience. This benevolent award honors the legacies of Noreen Silvers, Jackie Howell and Bryan Granelli.

We ask the recipient, the applicants and all of our friends and family to be kind, be generous, be benevolent, be gracious, be grateful and live a life as fully and as wonderfully as N, J and B did.

Thank you to all of family and friends that have donated to this foundation over the years! Your generosity is changing the lives of young people!

Always in our hearts and forever on our minds. ❤️❤️❤️
