Brown, Franzi to be Honored at Behind the Mask

The 10th Annual Behind the Mask Gala will be held Saturday, February 4, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. at The Foundry Art Centre, St. Charles.

Behind the Mask celebrates the people doing great things behind the scenes to ensure that adults living with disabilities have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

At the event we will present the 2017 Loving Hands Awards to Fulvio Franzi and Lori Brown. The awards honor an individual, business or organization that has made a significant difference in the lives of our employees over the years. Lori is BCI’s most tenured staff member; she just celebrated her 35th anniversary and currently works as a Production Supervisor. Fulvio led BCI as CEO from 1982 to 1998 and recently retired from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education where he administered the state’s Extended Employment Sheltered Workshop Program.

Your ticket to the 10th Annual Behind the Mask includes dinner, open bar, dueling piano show, caricatures, prizes and auction. The event is cocktail attire, black tie optional. Tickets are $50 each or $500 for a table of 10. All proceeds benefit the Help Happens Fund that meets the special needs of BCI employees.
