10th Annual
Spring Benefit Breakfast
We are so thrilled with the turnout and support for our 10th Annual Spring Benefit Breakfast! Thank you to the nearly 600 partners, volunteers, participants, supporters, staff members, elected officials, and community leaders who contributed and attended - it was an energizing and inspiring event.
Our program featured Keynote Speaker Paula Garay, DHSc., the Women’s Health Initiative Director for OPTIMUS Healthcare, and a former undocumented immigrant from Chile.
Dr. Garay bravely shared the grief, trauma, and hardship that comes with starting a life in a new country, while also demonstrating the incredible perseverance in her journey to becoming a citizen and healthcare professional.
