As the president and founder of KidSanctuary Campus, Inc., Connie Frankino directly influences children’s lives by creating new homes for them to live and thrive, once they’ve been displaced due to abandonment, abuse or neglect. At the 11^th Annual Place of Hope Golf Invitational and Charity Dinner, Frankino was honored for her work with a Pande Family Award. The award was a highlight of the Charity Dinner on March 22 at the Old Palm Golf Club, where guests enjoyed an auction event and live art performances. The Annual Golf Invitational & Charity Dinner welcomed Place of Hope supporters from across the country to raise operating funds for programs, housing, services and outreach. Based in Palm Beach Gardens, Place of Hope is a faith-based, state-licensed child welfare organization that provides family-style foster care, hope and healing opportunities for children and families who have been traumatized by abuse and neglect.
