Mark your calendars and get ready to Gather & Give!
We’re thrilled to share exciting news about our reimagined spring fundraiser, Gather & Give—designed to be more accessible, inclusive, and impactful. Inspired by feedback from our community, we’ve transformed our traditional auction and gala into an event that is reflected in its name: a chance to gather in celebration and give in support of our learners and the future of JDS.

This refreshed event will bring families, friends, and the greater Jewish community together for an evening of connection, generosity, and joy. We can’t wait to see you there as we gather and give to make a difference!

Giving Back
While we’ve streamlined the live auction portion of the program to allow more time for community-building, you can still enjoy your favorite fundraising activities, including raffles, games, and art projects. Giving for the evening will conclude with a community paddle raise inviting everyone to support JDS. Our goal is to entirely cover the cost of the event through ticket sales and sponsorships so that every dollar raised goes directly to supporting our learners and JDS. Gifts of all sizes are meaningful and make a difference!

Pricing
This year, we’re excited to introduce tiered ticket pricing to ensure that every family has the opportunity to be part of Gather & Give. Tickets will be available to purchase in January.

Sponsorships
Sponsorship of Gather & Give provides critical funding that enables us to elevate the evening’s impact by underwriting predetermined costs of the event. These partnerships offer opportunities for visibility and recognition within our community, showcasing a shared dedication to education, Jewish values, and the empowerment of future leaders. Please see our sponsorship packet for more information.
