“We are so blessed to have strong, intelligent, caring women like Nadia and Carol in our community. They have supported FLiP and our backpack initiative since we first started raising funds to support the program in eight of the Springfield public schools,” comments Dr Nancy O’Reilly, United Way board member and FLiP Chair. “FLiP can’t do what we do without the kind of support we receive from women like Nadia and Carol. They provide such a wonderful example for women investing their time and talent to create positive outcomes for women and children who are at risk in our city.”
