THE 17TH ANNUAL HOPE GALA RECOGNIZES
HONOREES: BENJI & LAURA KENDALL
MORE THAN 240 MEMBERS OF THE NAPLES COMMUNITY gathered to attend the JDRF Naples Hope Gala at the RitzCarlton Tiburon. The Hope Gala raised more than $1.5 million to fund critically-needed type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Naples recognized two local residents and partners of Haute Living Naples that have played a major role in the success of turning type one to type none right here in Naples. Benji and Laura Kendall, owners of Yamron Jewelers, were honored at the Hope Gala alongside their Marketing Director, Natalie Harley, who was awarded the 2023 Bob Beauregard Volunteer Service Award. The Kendalls have been involved with JDRF for ten years after a family member was diagnosed with type one. As the Honorees, they are being acknowledged for their longstanding commitment to JDRF’s vision of a world without T1D.
