“Chords of Hope,” the Michael Bolton Charities event Oct. 12 at the Stamford Marriott, celebrated 25 years of supporting children and women at risk of poverty, abuse, neglect, homelessness and domestic violence.
Chris Wragge, WCBS-TV news anchor, served as master of ceremonies. Event co-chairs were Jen Danzi and Alan Oyugi. The event honored Igor Tulchinsky, founder, chairman and CEO of WorldQuant, a global quantitative asset-management firm, and Founder of WorldQuant University, a not-for-profit.
The evening was attended by more than 200 guests and featured a special performance by Bolton and his band. A surprise cash matching donation was made by longtime supporter Warren Trepp who matched up to $25,000 from the audience.
Founded in New Haven in 1993, The Michael Bolton Charities has supported organizations nationwide that work diligently to respond to the needs of women and children at risk.
