    Jennifer Bradford brings more than a decade of nonprofit leadership and fundraising experience to Lamb's. As Executive Director of the Moonlight Cultural Foundation, she led fundraising strategy, donor and patron relations, corporate sponsorships, special events, and community engagement, and oversaw the Moonlight Youth Theatre program. During her tenure she grew annual giving from $930,000 to more than $2.2 million in five years, served as project manager for the acquisition and renovation of Moonlight Studios and led the capital campaign that opened it, and built a planned giving program that generated substantial bequest funding. Jennifer and her husband Mike have been married more than thirty years and are the proud parents of three sons and a daughter-in-law, all working in theatre on stages across San Diego, and brand-new grandparents to Margot, who has stolen every scene since her debut.
