Joanna first got involved with Cope Family Center in 2009 during our inaugural Rock and Stroll Fun Run.  When her gym formed a fundraising team, Joanna enthusiastically joined and ended up being the top fundraiser that year. After learning more about our work, touring our Family Resource Center and meeting the staff, Joanna decided to make Cope one of her philanthropic priorities. “The first time I came to Cope,” Joanna recalled, “I thought that if I were a parent in need, this is where I would want to come to get help.  It was such a warm, welcoming and safe environment.”
