Honoring Mollie and John Byrnes

This year, we were proud to celebrate Mollie Byrnes and her late husband, John Byrnes—steadfast champions of RAW’s mission and passionate supporters of countless nonprofit initiatives throughout Essex County. Their unwavering dedication has been a beacon of generosity, compassion, and community spirit.

Mollie and John have supported RAW’s initiatives to create safe, nurturing spaces where children could grow, learn, and thrive. Their legacy also includes support of education, youth development, mental health, healthcare, and groundbreaking cancer research. We are honored to recognize their extraordinary impact.
