Fiscal Year 2022 Events

Faces of JFS

The excitement of being together at the first in-person event in two years was palpable as 250 members of the JFS family joined us to honor Cary Chapman, Leanna Harris, and Jamie Sarché at Faces of JFS on October 5, 2021. The festive party at the Infinity Park Event Center included outdoor cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, an indoor seated dinner by Catering by Design, lively entertainment by the Jonny Mogambo Band, and inspiring speeches by our awardees.
