Benefiting Informed Families' drug prevention programs


The 29th Annual Informed Families/The Florida Family Partnership Fundraising Dinner at Joe’s was celebrated on May 19th by generous donors who enjoyed Joe’s world famous claws in support of safe, healthy and drug free kids. The event was kicked off with a pre-dinner social, where close to 500 guests were welcomed by event Co-Chairs Aaron & Dorothy Podhurst.
