Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault – Community Luncheon

Kristen Gibbons Feden, an attorney who served as the prosecutor in the trial and retrial of Bill Cosby, was the keynote speaker for the Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault’s (MOCSA) Community Luncheon. This year, it was a virtual event with a set of small, socially-distanced watch parties on October 14th. Jill and Ray Kowalik served as the honorary chairmen. Kimberlee Ried and Erik Bergrud and Katie and Jared Campbell were the community support committee co-chairmen, with Nola Adebo and Polly Kramer serving as event co-chairmen. Proceeds are earmarked for MOCSA’s work in improving the lives of those impacted by sexual assault and abuse and preventing sexual violence in our community.
