In accepting the award, Michael Graham, the Executive Director of The Haven during most of its existence, said, “We are grateful for our supporters who make our lifesaving mission possible.  Their acts of kindness and unwavering compassion are the reason The Haven is awarded this tremendous honor from GreatNonprofits.”
