Encore.org has named CAREGIFTED Founder and Executive Director, Heather McHugh, as one of its 2013 Purpose Prize Fellows. The award recognizes Heather's second act career to bring attention to the undersung contributions of long-term caregivers by providing them with all-expense-paid getaways. By supporting CAREGIFTED with the funds from her 2009 McArthur "Genius" Grant for Poetry, McHugh spends her time running the organization, raising money and acting as concierge on some caregiver gifted getaways.
