GRACE Benefit Dinner a success!

GRACE's 5th annual fundraiser was a success thanks to the generous support of the community. We thank everyone who attended or contributed to the dinner. GRACE would not exist if not for your generous support.

In addition to enjoying speeches given by director Danalynn Recer and the Consul General of Mexico Carlos González, GRACE was honored to receive a plaque from the Mexican Consulate commending GRACE's work done through the Mexican Capital Legal Assistance Program (MCLAP). The plaque says the following:
