"Adam's House has had very successful Paddle Tournaments for the past four years, but this year is the first time we've had separate Men's and Women's teams for competitive players," said Allison Wysota, Adam's House founder.

Another raffle for the New York Giants vs. Detroit Lions game on Dec 18^th at 1:00 p.m., will give the winner two Club Seats and special Club parking.

Adam’s House is offering grieving families and children free weekly programs guided by trained facilitators that help parents, teens and children gain new insights for coping with the loss of a parent, grandparent, sibling or friend. Adam’s House has partnered with 15 therapists from Shelton and neighboring communities to help support families before they begin the themed “Healing Hearts” program.
