The Jonathan Foundation For Children With Learning Disabilities

Please join me at The Jonathan Foundation For Children With Learning Disabilities 11th Annual Fundraiser filled with an evening of unity, love and support for our special needs community. Help The Jonathan Foundation save one child at a time. This year's honoree is Denise Richards, Actress, Model, and Reality TV Star. Richards’ television credits include notable guest appearances on NBC’s 30 Rock, Spike TV’s Blue Mountain State, FX’s Anger Management and ABC Family’s drama, Twisted. Richards co-starred in the Lifetime television film Blue Lagoon, a remake of the 1980 film. Richards was seen in the hit CW comedy Jane The Virgin as well as Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce on Bravo. She also appeared on her own “E!” television series, Denise Richards: It’s Complicated! about life as a single working mom in Hollywood. In addition to her work on-screen, Richards has advanced her professional career to develop prime business partnerships and to support causes close to her heart. With her husband Aaron Phypers, Richards formed a non-profit called Quantum Reach Foundation. The foundation brings forward the best innovations in wellness to help children and animals thrive daily. Additionally, her collaboration with Shoedazzle to design the “Eloise” heel raised over $15,000 for the Kidney Cancer Association. As an animal rights advocate, Richards commits her ambitious nature & her love of animals to Best Friends Animal Society as Ambassador. Since her involvement, Richards has furthered the cause, saved lives, raised awareness and fostered her own rescues. Denise joined the Will Rogers Institute’s longtime summer theatrical PSA campaign to benefit Brave Beginnings, a program that works to improve the lives of premature babies by providing hospital grants to purchase essential equipment and critical services. Geri Jewell will be receiving The Legacy Impact Award for her contribution to the special needs community. She is best known as Cousin Geri on the NBC sitcom, The Facts of Life. She was the first person with a disability to have a regular role on a prime time series. She began her career doing stand up comedy at the Comedy Store in 1978. In 1980 she performed at the 2nd Annual Media Access Awards, when she was introduced to Norman Lear by producer, Fern Field. The Jonathan Foundation's Master of Ceremonies will be Mr. Fritz Coleman.

What an honor to be Arizona's Remarkable Woman for 2025. Blessed to be promoted on CW7 Arizona (KAZT-TV) website in recognition of all my accomplishments, but mostly The Jonathan Foundation For Children With Learning Disabilities in helping special needs families and beyond navigate the national broken special education system. #RemarkableWomen Nexstar Media Group, Inc.

Enjoying #remarkablewomen cocktail 🍸 party. meeting incredible loving women that give more than they get.. proud to be in the same room with them. Thank you #remarkablewomen and #nexstarmediagroup for the platform and opportunity to bring awareness to The Jonathan Foundation For Children With Learning Disabilities

Special education comes with an extreme financial burden for families. I have been advocating Pro Bono for families since 2001. I have personally endured the financial and emotional hardship that comes along with fighting for a "Free and Appropriate Public Education." A public education is our children's rights, and we should not be fighting for them to learn how to read and write. Yet, that was my story, and millions of other families have walked and continue to walk this path. When calculating all of the hours, research, advocacy, related services, legal representation, placement, including residential placement and resources provided to these families can easily go into the millions of dollars that they do not have. I did not have that kind of money during my trials and tribulations with the second largest school district in the nation, and with God's grace, I prevailed! This is my cross to bear, and I thank God everyday for his greatest gifts, the beats to my heart and every breath I take; my pride and joy Jonathan Marhaba and Omar Marhaba. Thank you #remarkablewomen and Nexstar Media Group, Inc. for this platform and elevating me and the work The Jonathan Foundation for Children with Learning Disabilities (and beyond) does for these families. https://lnkd.in/gyB_tQnM

Where do I start. I am beyond humbled and excited at the same time for being named Remarkable Woman 2025 for the state of Arizona. Words cannot describe what an honor this is. My sons Jonathan Marhaba and Omar Marhaba nominated me for this incredible recognition and to my surprise I won. I intend to continue doing God's work in the state of Arizona and maybe one day the work will be The Jonathan Foundation on the move state to state. The recognition is for the following accomplishments.... 2025 Remarkable Woman for the State of Arizona (women who have made a significant impact through community contributions, self-achievement, or innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit. Women who inspire, lead and forge the way for other women). Thank you CW7 Arizona (KAZT-TV) for such a rare opportunity... God continues to be good to me. Feeling blessed!!!!!
