Dear Friend,
We are delighted to Co-Chair Informed Families’ legendary event, the 32nd Annual “Dinner at Joe’s!” It is scheduled for Monday, May 15, 2017. This year’s theme is "Communities that Care" and you will learn about why Communities that Care are so important to stopping the spread of drug use, especially the devastating current opioid epidemic. According to a 2017 article in The New York Times, “Public health officials have called the current opioid epidemic the worst drug crisis in American history, killing more than 33,000 people in 2015. Overdose deaths were nearly equal to the number of deaths from car crashes. In 2015, for the first time, deaths from heroin alone surpassed gun homicides.”
Informed Families has partnered with Joe’s Stone Crab to help kids grow up safe, healthy and drug free for more than three decades! This very special partnership has included many of you, your families and colleagues since that first dinner in 1985, only three years after Informed Families was established in 1982. The “Dinner at Joe’s” supports Informed Families Universal Prevention programs, reaching more than 3,200,000 children and their families throughout Miami-Dade County and the State of Florida.
Please review our sponsorship levels & table packages. Please make your commitment early. Remember that seating is limited and reservations are accepted in the order that payment is received. On March 16th, Pam and Alfred are inviting you to their home for an enjoyable evening and to learn more about Informed Families’ efforts to address the drug problem and how you can help. Please mark your calendar now and look for the invitation coming soon.
You may reserve your “Dinner at Joe’s” table now by visiting our 2017 Dinner at Joe's Sponsorship Page or by emailing the Sponsorship Form to Milly Davila or by US Post to:
