This Veterans Day, we had the honor of celebrating a local hero with a heart as big as his service record. Clarke Paris, a dedicated volunteer with Inclusion Fusion, an autism charity supporting families, received a very special surprise: the Adam Kutner Cares Community Champion award! Nominated by his own daughter, Clarke has spent countless hours volunteering for this meaningful cause, working alongside his daughter, who’s also involved with Inclusion Fusion.To make the moment unforgettable, we surprised Clarke on Friday with an award plaque, custom Adam Kutner Cares/VGK cookies, tickets to the Veterans Day game, and the exciting news that he would get to ride the Zamboni—an honor fitting for this community champion. Clarke’s daughter, who nominated him, had shared her excitement for the big reveal, and, as she predicted, her dad did indeed shed a few tears when he realized the extent of the surprise.
Members of the law firm and the social team were on hand to capture this special moment. With a banner, plaque, and treats ready, we celebrated Clarke’s contributions and dedication. It was a heartwarming tribute, not just to his past service, but to the ongoing impact he makes in our community.We were thrilled to recognize Clarke’s dedication and service to others, and it was truly an inspiring reveal!
