Photo by Harry SayerEmbracing Our Differences welcomed hundreds of supporters to its annual luncheon at Michael's On East on Feb. 17.
Supporters gathered in celebration of the nonprofit's work promoting diversity and inclusion through various arts and education programs. The crowd mingled outside the Michael's event space before it was time for the program to start.
Guests heard from Judge Charles Williams at the start of the program before lunch was served.
Learning and Engagement Director Ben Jewell-Plocher then spoke about EOD's education programs before it was time for three student speakers from the Sarasota area talk about the impact the organization has had on them.
Executive Director Sararh Wertheimer later addressed the crowd before it was time for a paddle raise led by Michael Klauber.
