The Home for Little Wanderers, which coins itself as the nation’s oldest child and family service agency and one of New England’s largest, will honor Rick Loughlin, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage New England, for his role as a business and community leader.
Loughlin will be honored at the group’s annual fundraising gala, Voices & Visions, on Wednesday, May 25 at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston.
"Rick has put an enormous effort into raising funds for The Home’s Coldwell Banker House which provides short-term residential stabilization, assessment and rapid reintegration services for teenage boys in crisis," said Joan Wallace-Benjamin, president and CEO of The Home. "Rick’s good corporate citizenship is astounding. Under his leadership, Coldwell Banker has also demonstrated its commitment to helping at-risk children and their families in the Boston area through support of The Home’s Big Wishes for Little Wanderers Gift Drive held during the holiday season."
In addition to honoring a community leader at each year’s Voices & Visions gala, the Sabino Marinella Award is presented to recognize individual achievement and/or dedication to The Home’s mission. The award, named in memory of Board Member Sam Marinella, will be presented this year to Stephen Pemberton, divisional vice president and chief diversity officer of Walgreens, for overcoming the challenges of growing up in the foster care system and providing support to The Home as a role model for youth.
