More than 200 guests joined us for the annual New Beginnings Luncheon on May 12. We spent the afternoon at The Revaire raising critical funds for AVDA services while honoring the support of community partner, BJ Rottinghaus, and the advocacy efforts of survivor, Rebecca Berens, MD.
A special thank you to our event chairs Nora Jarrard and Katie Tsuru, honorary chairs Colleen DiFonzo-Lewis and Erika Frankfort, and all of our sponsors for making new beginnings possible for AVDA families!
