Arianna Huffington To Speak In Darien Next Week

The annual event is the largest fundraiser of the year for Family Centers, a nonprofit organization that offers education and human services to children, adults and families in Fairfield County. Over the years, Lee Woodruff, Anna Quindlen and Elizabeth Edwards have taken the podium for the event, sharing stories of resilience and perseverance in an effort to help the local organization raise funds to aid families coping with loss, critical illness and other life-altering situations. While Huffington is a household name the world over for her role in changing the landscape of modern media, and often speaks at high-profile events, she said she feels it is important to support local efforts in bettering the communities around us.
