Then we'll get Closer to Free with the folks at Smilow Cancer Hospital and the Yale Cancer Center. They helped host John Voket survive cancer, so along with a fellow survivor we'll meet who's raised more than $150,000 for the cause - we'll tell you about - and clue you in on being part of the 10th anniversary Closer to Free Ride on September 12.

Rounding out our program of virtual activities, we'll catch up with the Center for Family Justice - and hear about how this critical human services agency is supporting victims of sexual assault in a COVID world, and invite you to the center's Speaking of Women virtual gathering on September 22.

Then, the new President from United Way of Connecticut checks in with a look at its ALICE 2020 report and an invitation to a series of virtual town hall events addressing some of the key challenges to households that are ALICE - Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed.
