CELEBRATING WESTFAIR’S MILLI AWARDS About 250 people gathered to pay tribute to millennials who are having an effect in their communities as Westfair Communications presented its first Milli Awards Nov. 17. The 22 winners, who represented an array of industries, inspired the audience with their passion at the event, held at Chelsea Piers Connecticut. Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour, goodies from sponsors and supporters and a photo booth. The multimedia award ceremony featured a skit and a keynote speech from Britta Mulderrig, marketing manager at Uber.The event benefited Community Plates, a nonprofit whose mobile application, GoRescue, enables volunteer “food runners” to connect with places that have leftover food, then distribute it to those in need. – Danielle Brody
