"D4D is made possible by people... leadership like Jennifer Sobecki and Catherine Richards harnessing so much industry talent, and channeling it toward people who truly need it. I've seen that firsthand through years of volunteer days, and through organizations like and , where I've watched the mission come full circle. Why D4D? Because it's an incredible group, doing incredible work, for equally incredible people.”
