Besides the film screening, the annual benefit provides critical funds for programs at Woodley House and helps raise awareness of the vital role the local community plays in supporting a vulnerable and often forgotten population. Here, local philanthropist Debra Kraft with Woodley House board member and the evening's honoree, Isabel Jasinowski. Isabel was presented with the Donald A. Brown Rose Award for her tireless efforts over the years to support Woodley House and advocate for those struggling with mental health issues.
