We’re excited to recognize the incredible Host Committee for our annual fundraiser, Grow with JEVS! This dedicated group of leaders, advocates, and philanthropists represent the many partnerships that we’ll celebrate at this year’s event.
About Grow with JEVS
On June 5, 2025, we’ll gather at the Crystal Tea Room to support JEVS Human Services (JEVS) mission of working with individuals to create sustainable paths to independence and economic security. Guests will enjoy an evening of celebration and inspiration.
