The gala also featured videos spotlighting the work of JALBCA grantees who provide mammograms to uninsured and underinsured women and legal and social services to women and families in crisis due to a diagnosis of breast cancer. And of course you won’t want to miss our terrific emcees, Gala Co-Chairs Rich Edlin and Maura Miller, and the inimitable Sharon Nelles. All of that (plus Claire Gutekunst’s recap of JALBCA’s year) in less than an hour!
