Jewish Family Service Luncheon with MLB Legends Gooden and Strawberry

Share

Jewish Family Service hosted their signature luncheon with special guests Dwight “Doc” Gooden and Darryl Strawberry, two of Major League Baseball’s most legendary players. Both athletes had an illustrious baseball career that were also marked by highly public battles with addiction. Turning those challenges into inspiration, they now help others struggling with addiction while spreading a message of hope, recovery and healing. While many of our neighbors are struggling with behavioral health issues that have only been magnified by the pandemic, Jewish Family Service remains committed to serving our community every step of the way, from Response to Recovery.
