The 40th Anniversary of Informed Families’ Fundraising Dinner at Joe’s was more than just a dinner—it was a celebration of four decades of commitment to keeping kids safe, healthy, and drug free. Held at the iconic Joe’s Stone Crab, this milestone event brought together philanthropic donors, dedicated colleagues, and loyal friends for an unforgettable evening of community and purpose.
Surrounded by Joe’s legendary claws and warm camaraderie, guests rallied around Informed Families’ mission. Their generosity and spirit helped us honor a tradition that has been going strong for 40 years—and is still making a powerful impact today.
