presents a ceremonial check to Mary Tavernini Dowling, CEO of the Beacon House in

volunteer their time to bring dinner to Beacon House and serve it to its guests. Beacon House is a privately run non-profit organization that works in

conjunction with the medical care

community to ensure patient access to health care.
