Al Schwartz, Executive Director of CARPLS, a legal aid non-profit
Anne and Jess were our unsung heroes during a very challenging period. We had lost key employees in quick succession right before our biggest and most important event of the year, our annual gala. Anne and Jess became our right-hand consultants on fundraising, messaging, and event planning. Not only were we able to put together a beautiful and inspiring event, CARPLS exceeded our donation and sponsorship goal. We really could not have done it without them.
