Grace Amarante Hurley wanted to do something really special to celebrate her father’s 50th anniversary of catering. A festive party didn’t seem to be enough for her father, Andy Amarante, who has hosted thousands of weddings and other celebrations at Amarante’s Sea Cliff in New Haven. Grace and her family decided to turn the celebration into a benefit for the Ronald McDonald House of Connecticut. More info...

JamieWhere Every Tree Has A Story

Behind every tree on display at Trees of Hope, there is a personal story. These stories tell us of love, courage, and hope shared by families and friends when faced with life’s most difficult challenges. We share the story of Jamie Hulley, in whose memory a tree was created for the 2007 event. More info...
