JAFCO’s 30-year anniversary is this year and the event theme is Gratitude… Celebrating 30 Years of Love in recognition of this milestone. The Gala will be highlighted by the presentation of the prestigious Jacob’s Ladder Award for Child Advocacy to two couples who have been dedicated to protecting abused and neglected children in our community: Carole and Mel Kantor and Becky and Laurence Herrup. The Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Sandra and Paul Goldner. The honorees’ commitment to providing love and safety to our most vulnerable and precious children is an inspiration to us all.
