Charities

Connie has devoted much of her time and influence to help those less fortunate. Connie's project Windfeather has enabled the awarding of 83 full college scholarships for Native American Indian youth, the delivery of surplus goods to Reservations nationwide, and summer camps for Native American Indian children who have never left the Reservation.

In addition, Connie has made landmark strides with "Dignity" in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, helping the mentally and physically challenged to become working members of the community. Hosting her annual Celebrity Ski Extravaganza, Connie has enabled the development of programs and a facility to house and educate, newly dedicated as the Connie Stevens Center for Independent Living. An added bonus was news that as a result of an annual pilot program of "Don't Drink and Drive," celebrity PSA's that Connie created, Wyoming boasted a record of ZERO teenage deaths on the highway. She is now involved in plans to build the first resort hotel for young adults and families with special need children. It is this tireless work and support to others that earned Connie the coveted "Lady of Humanities" award in 1991, from Shriners Hospital.
