Bridge Builders 2010 was a huge success!

This evening of inspiration and celebration would not have been possible without the support of our co-presenting sponsors, American Electric Power and Nationwide, as well as our event sponsors, host committee members, volunteers, associates, program participants and other supporters. 

We would like to extend a special thank you to everyone who was able to join us for our inaugural event.  For those of you that were unable to join us, you were missed, but we look forward to seeing you at Bridge Builders 2012.

We could not have chosen a better way to introduce the Center for Healthy Families to the Greater Columbus community; while celebrating the achievements of community leaders, whose dedication to causes larger than themselves represent what it means to be a “bridge builder.”

Bridge Builders honoree, Michael G. Morris, President, Chairman and CEO, AEP, exemplified the courage it takes to stand up and give voice to a new idea.  David Brown’s group, and Bridge Builders honoree, the Harmony project, lifted us through song that inspires social change.  Our special guest, Sapphire, came alive on stage in her conversation with Angela Pace, WBNS-10TV Community Affairs Director, as she spoke on issues of human dignity, which inspired her award winning novel, Push. 

While giving a voice to the issues of teen pregnancy in our community, Bridge Builders inspired, educated, and encouraged us to be bridge builders in our own lives and in the communities we live in.
