30th Anniversary Dinner Gala

Operation Fuel celebrated its 30th Anniversary with a Dinner Gala on Friday, April 27, 2007 at the Mohegan Sun Convention Center in Uncasville, Connecticut. Over the past 30 years, Operation Fuel has provided more than $16 million in emergency energy assistance to Connecticut’s working families, elderly or disabled who are struggling to pay their energy bills. Proceeds from the 30th Anniversary event helped keep the lights and the heat turned on for Connecticut families in crisis.

Dinner co-chairs State Treasurer Denise Nappier and WRDC radio personality Brad Davis hosted an evening of fun, with silent and live auctions and fabulous dining. NBC-30 news anchor Keisha Grant was the dinner’s master of ceremonies.
