The JCA Annual Fundraiser Campaign supports scholarship services and financial assistance for preschool, after school, and summer camp tuition. This allows the JCA to enrich the lives of countless individuals, offering services that are unparalleled in excellence, reaching those who otherwise could not afford the benefits of our agency, and rely on our support during these challenging times.

The JCA awards over $330,000 in scholarships to low and moderate-income children and families annually. This year, in response to the economic hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the JCA will award an additional $100,000 beyond our usual allocation and in spite of a $1,000,000+ loss of revenue, to support those in need. As part of our mission, the JCA does not turn anyone away for their inability to pay.
Please help us meet this growing need for assistance. Your support makes a difference.
Sponsorships and ticket sales are crucial to the success of this event.
