Throughout the time I've know her, she has shown me time and again that she is a positive, driven fundraiser with amazing potential. Her commitment to help raise funds to support the program, which provides young people from Boston's most underserved neighborhoods with the opportunity to reach their full potential, is admirable. Though she currently resides in Aventura, Jaclyn is originally from the Boston area and is dedicated to supporting her former community. I know that she would apply this same commitment to her current home community.
