This annual event honors Jerry Newberg, former JFS Board Chairman and devoted volunteer, who regularly greeted the children and adults that visited the JFS office.

The event is a fundraiser to support child and adoption programs. Our goal is to raise $50,000 which will be used to re-hire a child therapist and to subsidize the escalating cost of adoption.

Underwriter: _ $10,000 _$5,000 _ $2500 _$1,500 _$1,000

Supporter: _ $500 _$360 _$250 _$150 _$100 _$50 _$36 _$25
