Sen. Lisa Seminara, who serves as Ranking Senator on the legislature’s Aging Committee and serves on the Education Committee, today issued the following statement regarding the estate of Patricia B. Gorman donating $2.3 million each to the McLean Fund in Simsbury and to Avon Dollars for Scholars (ADFS).

“Fabulous news and such inspiring generosity! I know I speak for people of all ages in Simsbury and Avon when I say ‘thank you’ to the Gorman family for their enormous and selfless spirit of giving. As a former Avon Board of Education member, I know that the funding for ADFS will positively impact so many students. The donation to McLean will help vulnerable individuals as well as their caregivers, and as an advocate for seniors, it makes me so proud to be a part of this giving community.”
