Brice Makris Brunch from page 1

Board member John Makris and his wife Michelle chaired
the event that honored their son, Brice, who tragically passed
away two years ago at age 23 from a Fentanyl overdose. The
funds raised will benefit Hanley Foundation’s Brice Makris
Endowment Fund for lifesaving treatment scholarships and
addiction prevention programs.
“What a powerful and moving event,” said Jan Cairnes,
CEO of Hanley Foundation. “The proceeds from this brunch
will make a real difference in the lives of people suffering Rene Stern, Arlene Herson, Laureen Pannullo Chip James, Jan Cairnes, James C. Schneider
from substance use disorders. We could not be more grateful
to all who attended and supported this cause.”
One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of
the inaugural Brice Makris Community Spirit Award, given
to Max Weinberg, longtime drummer for Bruce Springsteen
and bandleader for Conan O’Brien. Weinberg generously
donated four band seats to a Bruce Springsteen and the E
Street Band concert during the live auction.
