Brighter Tomorrow Luncheon Raises $370K

Jewish Family & Children’s Service held its annual Brighter Tomorrow Luncheon on Feb. 1 at the Arizona Biltmore. The sold-out event featured keynote speaker Paul Gionfriddo, president and CEO of Mental Health America, discussing the impact of mental illness in society and the importance of organizations like JFCS that are providing services to people with mental illness, substance use disorders and/or developmental disabilities.

The nearly $370,000 raised from the luncheon will impact the lives of more than 40,000 individuals throughout the Valley.
