Catholic Charities Archdiocese of Hartford is proud to partner for this year’s Help & Hope Breakfast with Whittlesey, the largest Connecticut-based CPA and consulting firm.
The accounting, advisory, and technology firm, with offices in Connecticut and Massachusetts, is the Presenting Sponsor for the annual event, which raises funds to support the nonprofit’s programs and services throughout Hartford, New Haven, and Litchfield counties.

This year’s event is Nov. 17 from 7:30-9 a.m. at the Hartford Golf Club in West Hartford with UConn men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley serving as the guest speaker and WTNH News Anchor Dennis House as emcee. There are still sponsorships and seats available and information can be found at www.ccaoh.org/hope.
“Whittlesey is committed to supporting the communities where we live and work,” Managing Partner and CEO Drew Andrews said. “It is a privilege to partner with Catholic Charities, which brings help and hope on a local level and helps individuals reach their potential.”
“Whittlesey’s decision to generously support our mission will amplify our work and transform countless lives,” Catholic Charities CEO Marek Kukulka said. “They have been an important partner on a number of initiatives over the years in addition to providing auditing and advising services that ensure our health as an agency.”
