Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are pleased to report that 2013 was an exceptional year in support of SARAH participants. In a difficult economy, when many non-profits are struggling with fundraising, SARAH donors and contributors stepped-up their giving. Contributions from individuals, SARAH events and major gifts exceeded all of our expectations.

In early 2013, a large stock gift was made to the SARAH Foundation from an anonymous SARAH benefactor. This unanticipated donation funded several needed projects: a site plan for SARAH, Inc. Enrichment Center, start-up resources for Tuxis Harbor and emergency housing funds for SARAH SENECA participants.

We also said good-bye to our good friends, Chet and Angelica Bentley. However, their memory endures with their generous bequest to the SARAH Endowment Fund. This gift was a huge boost to both the SARAH Endowment Fund and the distributions to SARAH service agencies.

The SARAH Foundation is extremely proud of two beautiful and touching videos that were produced by Steve DePino. The “Making Independence Video” depicts a day in the life of several individuals who are supported by SARAH. The “Thank You Video” features a variety of thank you messages from SARAH participants. Both of these videos were showcased at the SARAH Gala and are posted on our website.

The SARAH Foundation is responsible for raising funds, managing the investments and coordinating all donations with the wishes of the donors and the mission of the SARAH agencies. We are extremely grateful to you and the hundreds of individuals and businesses that support us in our mission to make independence possible.

Warm regards,

Connor Dolan Denise Rose Board President Executive Director

Mark Hutchinson, a SARAH Special Olympics athlete, has been participating in the games for more than 25 years. This year, he became the first-ever recipient of the Bud Meyers award at the 2014 Connecticut Special Olympics Winter Games.

Hutchinson has been competing in the winter games for as long as Bud Meyers has been making snow for the athletes. For 20 years, Meyers has crafted perfect conditions for the winter games venue in Simsbury.

Harold, Mark’s father and Team SARAH coach, said his son is very competitive. “He has a ritual. When he gets through each skiing race, I’ll go over and get his skis and he’ll say be careful they’re hot – they’re smoking, they’re smoking. He feels like he melts the snow, he goes so fast.”

“Everyone who knows Mark got together, because of his enthusiasm, commitment, and sportsmanship… he was a natural choice.” —Debbie Horne, SOCT Communications Director

John Carpenter was the first million dollar winner in the Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Show. In the Celebrity Tournament, John won $250,000 – half of which was donated to the SARAH Foundation.

Unbeknownst to John, the publicity surrounding the TV show would attract another gift.

Agnes was an avid Who Wants to be a Millionaire? fan. As she watched John win $125,000 for SARAH, she contemplated “If SARAH is important to John Carpenter; they must do great things for people with disabilities.”

Agnes and her attorney arranged a generous bequest to be made to the SARAH Endowment Fund. Several years later, Agnes passed and her legacy gift to SARAH is helping to enrich the lives of SARAH participants now and for years to come.

John and Agnes

“I chose SARAH because I wanted to make sure whatever money I won would make a real difference in people’s lives.”—John Carpenter

Mike, Stuart, Mark and Herb are four busy, productive young men. Mike has a staff person for exercise and exploring the community. Stuart works at the Coast Guard Academy. Mark is part of a SARAH cleaning crew working at local businesses. Herb attends reading, computer classes and volunteers.

Mike, Stuart and Herb live in a SARAH supported home in Clinton. Mark lives in an in-law apartment attached to his parent’s home in Guilford.

All are involved in SARAH recreation programs such as Special Olympics, exercise classes, trips and volunteering. This summer they participated in Special Olympics softball, Fitness Club, and volunteered at the SARAH Golf Classic. Stuart is running the 5K with the SARAH Team at the NU Hartford Marathon this fall.

Life is good for Mike, Stuart, Mark and Herb.

“We keep them moving. They have a monthly calendar with something going on almost every day.”—Jill, SARAH staff

“Chris was a kind person, a pure spirit. I was so happy that Chris was a part of SARAH. They were so nice to him and he was so loved by his family.”—Loretta, Chris’s mom

Joseph Lagana, Sr. opened the Liberty Lagana store in Meriden, Conncticut in 1934. Over the years, their products gradually evolved from automotive and hardware goods to furniture and electronics. Liberty Lagana became a 3rd generation business in 2003 as Matthew Lagana joined the company full-time and his father, Joseph, retired.

Each year the Liberty Lagana store and the Lagana family make a generous donation to SARAH in loving memory of their nephew, Christopher Democh. Chris was a typical young man who liked to go crabbing and watch WWE Wrestling. He loved all animals and had a dog named “Guilford,” however; he was born with a genetic disorder known as Prader-Willis Syndrome. Chris graduated from Old Saybrook high school in 2002 and worked at Applicare in Branford with help from a SARAH work program. Sadly, he passed away in 2003 at the age of 22.

“For over 50 years, SARAH has been a model for our nation in advocating for social acceptance, equal rights and expansion of opportunities for people with disabilities. SARAH participants are justifiably proud of who they are and what they have accomplished, and they teach us all that every single person has a contribution to make.”—Ted Kennedy, Jr.

“I feel happy about myself to sing in front of others. It was fun to perform.” —Karen, SARAH participant

Gala 2014

“It was fun and I felt really comfortable. I was happy and had a good time. It was wonderful.” —Irene, SARAH participant

Stephen Holthausen, a quiet and humble humanitarian, was involved with SARAH for over 30 years. Following his term as a SARAH board member from 1981 to 1984, Stephen continued to give to and volunteer his time to the organization, including, but not limited to the SARAH Gala. Stephen and his partner, Sandra Reid, were fixtures at the annual festivities, as he was a faithful auction donor of a variety of sports memorabilia items.

Following Stephen’s unexpected and sudden passing in June 2012, his children, Gretchen Holthausen of Guilford, CT and Christian Holthausen of Paris, France, contacted the SARAH Foundation to continue their father’s legacy. To honor their beloved father and his lifelong passion for SARAH, they donated several auction items from their father’s sports collection to both the 2013 and 2014 SARAH Galas. Accompanied by her aunt, Linda McGrady and on behalf of her and her brother, Gretchen has attended both Galas since Stephen’s passing and has been inspired by the incredible participants, parents, and community of SARAH.

In the fall of 2014, Gretchen enthusiastically joined the SARAH, Inc. Board of Directors. She is proud to continue the Holthausen family’s patronage of SARAH.

The SARAH Endowment Fund: A Permanent Legacy

The SARAH Foundation’s Endowment Fund contributes to the fulfillment of the SARAH mission by providing enduring support for the SARAH family of agencies. Unlike any other source of support, the Endowment Fund is a permanent, self-sustaining source of funding for SARAH. The Foundation’s fundraising efforts, together with donor planned giving, provides assets that can be invested for long term growth. Each year, a portion of the total value of the Endowment is paid out to support the SARAH mission, and any earnings in excess of these distributions are used to build the Endowment’s value. The Endowment is managed for the long-term to strike a balance between the competing demands of funding current operations and preserving long term access to resources to fund future operations. When you make a contribution to the Endowment Fund, you create a permanent legacy of support for SARAH.
