Former NFL Player To Speak At Caron Dinner
The alcohol and drug treatment centre, Caron Bermuda will be hosting the fourth annual Caron Bermuda Award of Excellence dinner on Thursday [Apr 24] at the Fairmont Southampton Hotel under the distinguished patronage of the Governor, Mr. George Fergusson and Mrs. Fergusson.
The formal fundraising dinner will honor Nancy and Brian Duperreault for their significant contributions in the realm of substance abuse treatment not the least of which is through the provision of educational opportunities via the Duperreault Fellowship. The Fellowship highlights their collective efforts, enormous compassion, and understanding of the disease of addiction and its impact on our society.
Former NFL Player and Super Bowl Champion Clifton “Cliff” Crosby [pictured] will be featured as the keynote speaker for the evening.
In addition, while in Bermuda, he will be speaking at the Berkeley Institute School.
After retiring from the NFL in 2004, Crosby refocused his career on becoming a motivational speaker and youth advocate. He speaks to teenagers about the life skills and choices that will protect them from risky behaviors, using his own life experiences as an example. He has worked with Caron Treatment Centers for the past 6 years as a consultant for the Student Assistance Program.
“Cliff has a powerful story and an important message to share,” shared Gita Blakeney Saltus, Regional Vice President of Caron Bermuda. “We are honored to have him as our keynote speaker.”
The proceeds from the dinner will contribute to the further development of Adolescent and Family programming and the Caron Bermuda Scholarship Fund, providing much needed financial aid to families who reach out to us to assist with the cost of treatment for their loved ones.
