In addition to performances guests were also front row center for an awards ceremony celebrating the work of people behind the cause. Reeve Foundation board member Paul Daversa and Daversa Partners Inc. were honored with the Christopher Reeve Spirit of Courage Award. The Dana Reeve Hope Award was given to international box office smash The Intouchables. The film follows the life of a wealthy man who becomes a quadriplegic after a paragliding accident and befriends his unlikely care taker, a young man from the projects. This is the second highest grossing French film to date and the first film ever to be honored by the Reeve Foundation. Its story of friendship and determination is one which resonates profoundly with those affected by spinal cord injuries and paralysis. Though many laughs were shared the evening’s purpose is one of serious fund-raising for the many people living without the movement we all take for granted. The Evening may be over but the fundraising is a year round project worthy and in need of support. For more information on how you can lend a hand please visit www.crpf.org.
