The 5th Annual Grow with JEVS
Thursday, May 13, 2027
Crystal Tea Room at the Wanamaker Building
VIP: 5pm – 6pm
Dinner & Program: 6pm – 9pm
Community members, partners, and supporters are invited to join in celebrating the power of creating opportunities and pathways to independence, while recognizing leaders whose public service has helped make those opportunities more accessible.
Parking: Complimentary parking available in the LAZ garage (details will be sent to ticket holders prior to the event).
Attendees will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring an upscale seated dinner, handcrafted cocktails, a curated silent auction, live entertainment, dancing, and moving stories that bring JEVS’ mission to life.
Proceeds from ticket sales and sponsorships will support JEVS’ programs that help individuals build sustainable paths to independence and economic security. Last year’s event raised more than $491,000 to support life-changing programs.
