Second Chance-Last Opportunity celebrates 16 years in the community at our annual 'Share The Light' Luncheon. This, SCLO's most important fundraiser, will honor Christine Jennings, Executive Director of WBTT and Dr. Washington Hill, Maternal-Fetal Health SMH for their commitment and contribution to our community. Guests will enjoy a performance by members of the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe, hear testimonials from former clients and learn about the impact both the organization and our honorees have on the quality of life in Sarasota. Tears and laughter for all.
