On Sunday we held our inaugural Hope in Bloom Luncheon at Selby Gardens. It was a wonderful event celebrating JFCS and our honorees, Jo & Stan Rutstein. Everyone was very moved by one of our Camp Mariposa campers, Alexis, who spoke about her life. She highlighted what it was like growing up in a family of addicts and how Camp has helped her overcome those challenges. After her speech, we had an exciting and energetic Bid from the Heart paddle-raise. In total, we raised $324,550 from the event! Thanks to all who participated and shared in the joy of the day!

A judge was also present to hear minor cases and fines, offering a fresh start to many. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing volunteers and vendors who made this event a success!
