Last month we hosted the 12th Annual JMLBA Gala, which was a roaring success! We were inspired by Keynote Speaker Janice Innis-Thompson, who reminded us that “lifting as you climb” means mentoring, creating opportunities, and building bridges for the next generation. We also honored the Honorable Judge James Green for his decades of dedicated service to Franklin County. Congratulations to our scholarship winners, Chase Moore and Samaree Perkins, whose leadership and commitment make us proud.

Heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors — this evening wouldn’t have been possible without you. And to all JMLBA members and supporters who attended: your presence proved that when we come together, the heights at which we can rise are limitless!

Don't forget - tonight is our Happy Hour at Cure 614 (54 North Third Street,  Columbus, Ohio 43215) starting at 5:00 pm!
