Carver Connections
Norwalk Connections L-R: Rich VanSteen, Co-Chair and host David Neaderland, Paul Bartilucci, Mark Kaufman, Shelley Lepetich
Carver Connections house parties bring our mission to life in the most personal way possible—around the warmth of a friend’s home. Hosted by generous Carver donors, these gatherings welcome new friends and celebrate longtime supporters while showcasing the remarkable achievements of Carver students.
Each Connections event is unique, but the spirit is always the same: a chance to experience Carver’s impact firsthand through stories, student successes, and meaningful conversation. These evenings are not only joyful celebrations—they are also one of the most important ways Carver expands its reach in Norwalk and beyond, building community and inspiring continued investment in the futures of young people.
