Dear Friends,

We are just a few days away from an incredible evening of dinner, dancing, dueling pianos, casino games and more. We are very grateful for your generous support of J programs!

Your support at the J’la will benefit individuals and families by providing scholarship for youth programs, senior adult services and programs, and for people living with disabilities.

Your support matters…

• Allow for the youngest members of our community to participate in J activities. Four out of ten children who take part in these activities receive scholarship assistance.

• Enable our community’s older citizens to be a part of J meal programs and other social and recreational activities through our Adult Day Center at the J. These services help make it possible for more than 3,000 senior adults to lead more active, fulfilled lives.

• Provide social, recreational and cultural opportunities for children and adults who have physical or developmental disabilities. More than half of the people in these J programs receive scholarship assistance.

Read on to learn the many ways you can support the programs and services of the J. We’re excited to have you with us and we hope you have a fantastic time!

Thank you!
