Hi Everyone!
I can’t believe our virtual gala campaign has come to a close! I want to thank our entire gala committee, our Board of Directors, our staff, and YOU! Above, please watch the video from some of our Jeff’s Place kids thanking YOU for making Jeff’s Place a haven of healing and hope. I need to give a special shout-out to the most dedicated, flexible, effective, and FUN volunteers who pivoted on a dime to create this month-long campaign. With 25 years in the nonprofit sector, I’ve never been so grateful and proud of an event committee like them! Samantha Adams, Julie Batt, Marci Blacker (Auction Chair), Dawn Bloom , Jen Brandwein, Cameron Burke, Michelle Feinberg, Brian Gardiner, John Gardiner, Jeremy Hyman (Video Producer), Wayne Janelle (Online Gala Emcee) Helen & Bob Kaplan, Laura & Rick Kaplan, Millie Kateman (Honoree Co-Chair), Melissa Kennedy, Aliya Kleiner, Lynne Nechtem, Liz Novack (Gala Operations), Heather Rafey, Amy Ritzhaupt, Roberta Rubin, Lauren Schiffman (Social Media Chair), Dale Sinesi (Gala Chair), Kate Stoller (Honoree Co-Chair), Amanda Trant (Logo Design), Jenny Raff Weiner, Janet Zaranski To see all of the videos, please visit our website, and follow and like us on Facebook and Instagram – and forward and share with your networks- WE STILL NEED YOU!
Through your contributions, we have raised more than $125,000 through this virtual gala campaign. Thank you for enabling us to continue to serve our current families, to begin serving the families on our waitlist, and to expand our services and those we serve as a result of the increased needs in our community specific to COVID-19. Stay tuned for a newsletter soon where I will share with you how we have responded to the pandemic through the support of our community, as well as our plans for our new home at 281 Pleasant Street in Framingham. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and schedule a time to speak with me- I’d love to connect! In gratitude, love, and sending prayers of safety,
Jenny Kaplan, PhD, LICSW, FT
