Karen Fournier of Oriskany is the winner of the 23rd annual $100,000 Miracle Drawing. Proceeds of the fundraiser benefit the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals at the Mohawk Valley Health System. Celebrating the occasion are, from left, Karen Fournier, Andrea MacDiarmid, CMN Hospitals coordinator; and family members Katie, Renee and Robert Fournier. This was Karen’s first time purchasing a Miracle Drawing ticket. She bought the ticket at Chanatry’s Supermarket located in Utica. On the evening of the drawing, Karen was making dinner and her son tuned into WKTV NewsChannel2 to see who won. “My son came into the kitchen and told me I had won,” said Fournier. “I thought he was kidding and just laughed it off but then I realized he was serious.” The project, which benefits maternal child services at MVHS, has raised more than $4.8 million over the past 23 years. For more information and to view the recipients of the nine bonus prizes, call the MVHS Foundation at 315-624-5600 or visit mvhealthsystem.org/CMN.

The Center for Family Life and Recovery, Inc., in collaboration with ACR Health, recently held the inaugural Light of Hope ceremony. All proceeds from the event — $1,500 — were presented to the Connor Arthur Lynskey Memorial Scholarship Fund. A drunk driver tragically took Lynskey’s life in 2018. “Addiction is a disease and many of the deaths attributed to this disease can be prevented. CFLR chose to contribute to Connor’s legacy in hopes young people receiving scholarships will work to prevent such tragic loss and provide hope,” said Cassandra Sheets, CEO of CFLR. Taking part in the check presentation are, from left, Alisa Ferraro, CFLR advocacy coordinator; Sheets; Donald Lynskey, race director for Connor’s Way Scenic Memorial 5-Mile Run/Walk; Jodi Warren, CFLR prevention director; and Ambi Daniel, CFLR family navigator. Bridget Keesler is co-director of Connor’s Way. The CFLR is regarded as the area’s leading expert in prevention services, behavioral and mental health services, as well as community and family recovery services.
