On Jan. 29, 2021, Jewish Family & Childrenâs Service hosted its annual Brighter Tomorrow event virtually. The event was free and highlighted the organizationâs many programs and services, with a particular focus on its response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The signature event, chaired by Lynn and Larry Kahn, raised $330,000. That money will be used on services and support for more than 40,000 people throughout Maricopa County.
Robert Sarver, owner of the Phoenix Suns and executive chairman of Western Alliance Bancorporation, was the featured keynote speaker. Sarver, a philanthropist who supports Arizonaâs local community, spoke about his familyâs personal connection to JFCS services following the death of his brother at a young age. In addition, Sarver spoke about the importance of access to programs, including primary medical care, counseling, behavioral health, domestic violence victim assistance and Jewish community services through JFCS.
