Junior Achievement of South Florida recently held a celebration to honor the prestigious women of its “JA Circle of Wise Women.” Caitlin Stella (pictured, left), CEO of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, and Rita Case (pictured, left), CEO of Rick Case Automotive Group, were among the honorees.

The Circle of Wise Women provides scholarships to outstanding students, with Arriyonna Gillett, Huguette St. Hubert and Rose Octeus receiving this year’s awards. The event’s title sponsor was City Furniture, and the Exclusive Swag Sponsor was Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, one of South Florida’s leading pediatric hospitals.
