Jewish Family Service (JFS) announces that legendary makeup artist, best-selling author, and accomplished entrepreneur Bobbi Brown will participate in an insightful conversation at the 2024 Woman to Woman Luncheon. The event is scheduled for Thursday, April 18, at noon, at Fairmont Dallas Hotel, located at 1717 N. Akard St.

“The Woman to Woman Luncheon serves as a biennial celebration honoring the influence and achievements of women, and Bobbi Brown's presence promises to elevate the occasion to new heights,” said Cathy Barker, CEO, JFS. “Attendees will have the privilege of engaging with Bobbi Brown in a captivating discussion, delving into her illustrious career and entrepreneurial journey."

Renowned for her transformative impact on the beauty industry, Bobbi Brown's legacy extends far beyond cosmetics. From her humble beginnings creating a collection of lipsticks to establishing a global beauty empire with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, she has continually pushed boundaries and redefined industry standards. Even after departing from her namesake brand, Brown's entrepreneurial spirit has remained undimmed, as evidenced by her successful ventures including justBOBBI.com, a digital editorial content site; The George, a 31-room boutique hotel in her hometown of Montclair, New Jersey; and 18Label, a state-of-the-art production studio. Her newest venture, Jones Road Beauty, is her collection of products for all ages, skin types, and skin tones. Recognized by Business Insider as one of the fastest-growing brands, Jones Road Beauty has garnered accolades from esteemed media outlets such as Allure, Vogue, W, In Style, and Essence.

Bobbi Brown's expertise in translating trends into practical applications has garnered her widespread recognition, including being named one of Forbes' "50 Over 50" most influential women in 2022 and receiving numerous awards for her contributions to both the beauty industry and philanthropy. Her accomplishments include receiving the Glamour Woman of the Year Award, The Fashion Group International Night of Stars Beauty Award, and The Jackie Robinson Foundation's ROBIE Humanitarian Award. Additionally, she was appointed by President Obama to serve on the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiation and was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame.

"We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome Bobbi Brown to Dallas for our luncheon," added Barker. "Her remarkable journey and unwavering commitment to empowering women make her the perfect choice to headline our event."

Co-Chairs are Fran Toubin, Sam Utay, Susan Kramer, Bobbie Repp, and Barbara Spigel, who are dedicated to advancing the cause of this luncheon fundraiser. Proceeds from the event will support JFS in providing mental health and social services to individuals regardless of age, race, religion, or financial status, benefiting more than 16,500 individuals last year alone.

Honorary Chairs, the JFS Diaper Shower Founders, Cathy Glick, Julie Liberman, and Beverly Rossel have been instrumental in the nonprofit's diaper collection efforts, providing essential resources to those in need since 2010.

Since its inception, the luncheon has raised over $5 million, significantly expanding JFS's reach and impact. Past speakers have included prominent figures such as Joy Behar, Goldie Hawn, and Diane Von Furstenberg.

The 2024 luncheon features a jewelry pull, a wine pull, and a luxury raffle. Sponsorship opportunities start at $1,800, and a limited number of tickets are now available.
