We had the honor of presenting our 3rd annual CWS Foundation scholarship to a much deserving individual at the MHS Class of 2026 Award Ceremony last night. This graduate exemplified the core qualities Chris possessed that made him an amazing person - drive, perseverance, kindness and compassion in helping others to name just a few similarities that drew us in.

Emma Haughey was truly deserving of the scholarship. Her passion and drive for helping others, especially as she explained why and how it gives her life so much purpose, resonated deep with us. We know she'll make an enormous impact in the lives of those fortunate to meet her and she'll exceed in her studies at Sacred Heart University. Congratulations Emma! We wish you the best and again we are honored to help you achieve your goals.

The CWS Foundation had a busy past month. While either volunteering or working for Chris’ Corner or The Sun Will Rise (TSWR) or just for ourselves we participated in 5 events. For Chris’ Corner = Friendsgiving, Milford Santa Parade (1st place float), Ugly Sweater Night and for TSWR = Guest speaker at MADMOMS’ Dad’s Speak Week Live and Essex County Healing for the Holidays Event we continue to connect with and support those on their recovery path and those bereaved by substance use causes. We look forward to helping those in need throughout 2026!!
