The 19th annual JustWorld Gala, held Friday, March 11, surpassed all expectations, as the event returned to its traditional in-person setting at Belle Herbe Farm in Wellington. With tremendous support from the equestrian community, new records were set for attendance, auction proceeds, and funding raised to support JustWorld’s life-changing projects for impoverished children in Cambodia, Guatemala, Honduras and the United States. Caryl Philips and Frank Zeiss returned as presenting sponsors, joined this year by Jennifer Oz LeRoy and her new Wellington restaurant, Maxwell’s Plum. Gala guests walked down the Yellow Brick Road into an Emerald City where The Wizard of Oz theme was ever-present. Learn more about the nonprofit at www.justworldinternational.org.
