On Thursday, May 2nd, the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale was invited to take part in JAFCO’s 11th Annual Mother’s Day Luncheon; a wonderful benefit to raise money and awareness for the JAFCO foundation. All ticket proceeds along with auction items were donated to JAFCO. JAFCO provides at-risk children and their families with assistance programs and services including group homes, foster care, adoption, and family preservation programs among many other things.
