Root Center for Advanced Recovery welcomes new Marketing Director
November 4, 2021
We are extremely excited to welcome Margaux Farrell to the “Root” family as our new Marketing Director. Margaux was previously a weekday morning news anchor at FOX61, where she also reported on special assignments. Margaux was an All-American swimmer at Indiana University, and then went on to earn a bronze medal in the 2012 London Olympic Games representing France, as she is also a dual-citizen. Margaux’s energy is off the charts, as is her desire to make an impact in non-profit behavioral health. She will be a huge asset to the organization as we continue to grow our services and reach broader communities.

The Root Center is excited to announce our first ever CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT! However, this charity golf tournament won’t be to benefit Root… on September 25th, 2025, we will host a charity golf outing at Lyman Orchards in Middlefield, CT, to benefit St. Vincent de Paul Middletown . Root Center feels strongly about nonprofits supporting nonprofits, and we are thankful for the work St. Vincent de Paul Middletown performs to help the residents in our state, particularly in Middletown, where Root Center proudly operates two sites. Many Root Center patients benefit from their critical services, and we are proud to support such an important mission helping some of the most marginalized members of our community. So, dust off those clubs, and get ready to play for a great cause! More information on signing up and sponsoring coming soon!
