“This
year’s
event
has been
a
century
in the
making,”
said
Judson

President

Lenora
Hardy-Foster.
“We are
so
excited.
When you
think
about
being a
nonprofit
human
service
provider
that has
been
able to
sustain
ourselves
for 100
years,
that
means so
much to
us. I
think,
if
anything,
it tells
the
story of
a
nonprofit
that has
been
creative
and
innovative
over a
remarkable
span.”
Earlier
this
year,
Judson
Center
launched
its

inspirational
awareness
campaign
titled,
“Where
Care Is
An Art,”
in
partnership
with
Doner

Ten

artists
were
paired
with
Judson
Center
clients
to
create
powerful
works of
art
illustrating
the
clients’
journey
to hope
and
healing
through
the
agency’s
life-changing
services.
The
artwork
will be
on
display
at the
Centennial
