Preparations are underway at the United Way of Tri-County office in Framingham for the 2015 Community Recognition Event to honor those who support their mission and the volunteers who give their time. More than 350 guest are expected to attend the breakfast on Thursday, April 9 at the Sheraton Hotel in Framingham.

The theme this year, A Story of Change, promises to be a truly special event with inspirational speaker and best- selling author of “Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgivness, Survival and My Journey from Homelessness to Harvard”. Formerly homeless, Liz Murray transformed her life of despair into an inspiring Journey of determination, hope and hard-won success.
