February 14th marks the 8th Anniversary of the horrific shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in which Fred Guttenberg’s daughter, Jaime, was murdered. In the years since that devastating loss, Fred has become a leading national advocate for gun violence prevention, channeling his grief into action while honoring Jaime’s life and legacy.

Sadly, Fred’s brother, Dr. Michael Guttenberg, who served as Deputy Medical Director of the FDNY died in 2017 of 9/11-related illness. Fred has a long-standing relationship with VOICES, in our shared mission to support those impacted by tragedy. His book, Find the Helpers, reflects his journey—offering a deeply personal account of loss while highlighting the people and communities that sustain us in the aftermath of trauma.
