ADL honors Curtis D. Robinson and family, Pava family

The Anti-Defamation League honored Connecticut business entrepreneur and philanthropist Curtis D. Robinson and family, and the Pava family with the 2012 Torch of Liberty Award on October 3 in West Hartford, Connecticut.
About 300 of Greater Hartford's leading citizens and corporations attended, including Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Rep. Chris Murphy and Attorney General George Jepsen. Approximately $335,000 was raised for the Anti-Defamation League's Connecticut Regional Office, based in Hamden.
The Torch of Liberty Award celebrates those with a tradition of community service. The commitment to philanthropy and public service demonstrated by the Robinson and Pava families epitomizes the Anti-Defamation League's values and the ideals represented by the Torch of Liberty Award.
"It's been a pleasure getting to know the Robinsons and Pava families," said Gary Jones, Connecticut ADL's regional director. "In addition to being stalwarts in the community, each family exudes a warmth and generosity that is palpable. They're both highly deserving of this award."
