What makes this day so special is the amount of elevated kindness that is felt all around. From start to finish, those who attend feel the power of charitable giving in a beautiful fashion.
“When you have difficulty in your life and someone stands by you and calls you every day and checks in on you and publicly defends you, you know that this is a true person. And so, honestly, anything Jill will ever do, I will be there for her because I just think she’s an extraordinary human being,” said Julia Haart, who was attending her second luncheon. “Although I never had a chance to meet her husband, I have heard the most incredible things about him. So coming out, supporting my friend and to help fund cancer research on a beautiful day means a lot to me.”
