For its 21st annual Legacy Luncheon, Junior League of Sarasota welcomed kidnapping survivor and child safety advocate Elizabeth Smart as its speaker Feb. 27 at Michael's On East.
Smart delivered a message of hope and resilience to the 375 guests in attendance at the event, which was co-chaired by Ollie Johnson and Jessica Rogers.
In addition to lunch, guests enjoyed Champagne and a raffle to raise funds. Belinda Coffrin, JLS member and Coffin Jewelers owner, designed and donated a piece of custom jewelry to be raffled at the event. All proceeds from the luncheon benefit the Junior League of Sarasota Endowment Fund, which is used to give community grants each year. Established in 1986, the fund now has more than $1.5 million in assets.
