2008 Supporters & Event Photos

On April 9th, 2008, over 1200 people came together to honor four remarkable men and women - Matthew Shultz, Christine Zhen, James Bakheit, and Shiela Smith - who overcame tough challenges to become productive and independent citizens of our Bay Area community, and to recognize two outstanding employers - Laguna Honda Hospital and Mission Pie - whose commitment to the growth and well being of their employees earned them the title of Business Leader. This 16th annual Strictly Business Awards Luncheon was the most successful yet, raising over $800,000 for JVS programs.
