The Tower of Hope Foundation

Each year, Liz Ann sponsors a family in the Connecticut National Guard, providing financial support and gifts for military families.
She also sponsors at least three families through St. Luke's LifeWorks program, purchasing wish list gifts for children with AIDS or other health related challenges. Liz Ann regularly donates to local Connecticut charities including the Volunteer Fire Department, the Police Athletic League, Center for Hope, EMS and the Red Cross, among others.

The Tower of Hope Foundation was started by Cathy Carilli in memory of her late husband, Thomas E. Sinton, who lost his life in the attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11. The mission of The Tower of Hope is to empower people who are living with a disability, a chronic illness, or have been in an abusive relationship to live happier and more independent lives through service and assistance animals. The Foundation's mission was inspired by Tom and Cathy's shared love of animals and desire to give back to the community in the face of tragedy.
