We were delighted to have received, in May, a $5,000 grant from the TRIP Foundation towards the cost of re-designing and re-building our Cultural Alliance website, which will integrate our two faces: the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County and FCBuzz.org. At the ACE Awards Breakfast (above), we were thrilled when TRIP Foundation president (and ACE Awards keynote speaker) Robin Tauck, understanding the critical role of a strong digital presence for the Cultural Alliance, challenged the audience that if we continued our campaign to complete the website redesign project, she would match all donations up to a further  $2,500! This match will enable us to complete and launch the website by late July. Please help us meet our goal by making a donation of $10, or more, at this Impact Vine donation site. Thank you for your support! UPDATE:  With only 27 days to go, we are 29% of the way ($693) to meeting our $2,500 goal.
