Previous recipients have included Auxiliary Founder Louise Griffeth, Sandra Cude, Pam Dealey Petty, Carol Huckin, Linda Secrest, Lydia Haggar Novakov, Dian Moore, Linda Perryman Evans, Dee Wyly and Emily Wyly, Mar Nell Bell and Bonnie Harding and Patti Brown, Jan Myers, Karen Shuttee, Nancy Carter, Debbie Oates, Helen McGraw, Lindalyn Adams, Elisa Summers and Heather Washburne, Elsa Norwood, Lisa Troutt, Robyn Conlon, Sarah Losinger, Prissy Gravely and Cara Gravley French and Kristina Whitcomb.
Serving as the fundraiser’s honorary co-chairs will be Elisa Summers with her sister Heather Washburne, who just this past spring chaired The Sweetheart Ball.
Felicia added, “Elisa Summers and Heather Washburne, also former Community Service Award recipients, are again graciously lending their endorsement and resources to the luncheon. Highland Park Village, as the presenting sponsor, enables the Auxiliary to raise hundreds of thousand of dollars for equine-assisted therapy for children, adults and veterans. Our gratitude for their generosity knows no boundaries.”
