Carcieri to present award honoring Station victims

Governor Carcieri tonight will announce the winners of an award that honors the victims, survivors and affected family members of The Station nightclub fire, which killed 100 people and injured more than 200 on Feb. 20, 2003.

Rhode Island's Hope Award is being given to citizens who distinguish themselves as good Samaritans during an emergency or tragedy.

The ceremony, marking the fire's fifth anniversary, will be at 7 p.m. at Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet. The public is invited.

The honorees were selected by the Rhode Island’s Hope Award Committee, comprised of Dr. Joseph Amaral, Jane Hayward, Frank McGonagle, Kathy Sullivan and Sue Stenhouse.
