Vista Starlight Benefit a Fairytale Success

Many well-known fairy tales came to life at the Water’s Edge Resort & Spa on April 29 for the Vista Starlight Benefit, a social event and fundraiser for Vista Life Innovations, a community-based program supporting the personal success of individuals with disabilities.

With nearly 300 people in attendance, this year’s fairytale-themed event honored Old Saybrook resident Tina Dattilo, Vice President of the Water’s Edge. Tina, the Dattilo family, and the staff at Water’s Edge have served the shoreline community and beyond for many years, and have built a longstanding partnership with the Vista community.

Funds raised by the Starlight Benefit support the many programs and services of Vista. A portion of event proceeds benefit Vista’s Student/Member Enrichment Fund, which underwrites special projects and initiatives that directly enhance the experiences offered to Vista students and members.

The 2017 Starlight Benefit was presented by Andi Barouh, Barclay Investments, Essex Printing, Shore Publishing, and Elena and Michael Patterson.
