The Stories That Connect Us
Thank You for Celebrating with Us
Thank you to everyone who joined us poolside on May 17 for PJCC’s 4th Annual Spring Celebration, The Stories That Connect Us. It was a joyful evening of community, connection, music, food, dancing, and celebration, all made possible by the generosity of our donors, volunteer leaders, sponsors, and community partners.
Spring Celebration is our annual donor appreciation event, honoring those who help make PJCC a vibrant place to learn, connect, and thrive. Philanthropic support powers meaningful programs across our community, from early childhood education and wellness to cultural arts, Jewish life, and financial assistance through the Y.E.S. (Youth to Elders Support) Fund.
If you would like to become a PJCC Community Supporter with an annual gift of $180 or more, you can make your gift online at stg-penjcc-staging.kinsta.cloud/donate. Your contribution helps strengthen our ever-growing community of supporters and ensure the PJCC remains accessible and welcoming for all.
Your support helps make PJCC a place where people come together to find belonging and community.
Thank You – Todah Rabah – to our Volunteer Leaders and Community Partners for making our event possible.
