especially those most in need, to reach their full potential as productive and
responsible citizens through initiatives that support and enrich children,
teens, and families. It is through the generosity of countless individuals they

individuals who work tirelessly to support and sustain North Light and better our
neighborhood. This year’s honorees are: George W. Richards, III: Anne Wright
