GALA 2012 is Saturday, March 10, at The Bluestone!
The JCC’s biggest night of the year – the annual JCC Gala – will be held at The Bluestone, 583 E. Broad St., Columbus, OH 43215. The theme for this year’s event is A Night on the Town.
Dress in casual chic attire and be prepared to soak in the atmosphere at The Bluestone, while indulging in an array of delicious hors d’oeuvres, plentiful treats, and beautiful desserts. The bar will be open all night to serve your favorite cocktail or beer.
Gala is the JCC’s most visible and spectacular fundraising event that helps fund essential JCC services, while providing an enjoyable evening of entertainment and socializing to attendees of all backgrounds.
Your Support of Our Center’s Annual Gala
Your support enables more than two hundred families who are experiencing financial hardship to continue accessing Center programs and activities. This includes sending their children to our Early Childhood preschools and Summer Camps. Thanks to your continued support, we remain true to our commitment to provide services to those in need.
The annual Gala also allows the JCC to provide transportation to the frail elderly in our community to the Center. This service is crucial to their ability to remain independent at home, participate in fitness and educational programs at the center, and receive a hot Kosher meal at the JCC five days a week. For many, this is their only hot meal of the day.
As the JCC’s most popular fundraising event, Gala also assists in providing Camp Arye each summer. This camp serves children with a broad range of disabilities. We open our doors and our hearts to these children and their families, thanks to Gala dollars.
Even more so in these difficult economic times, your donation and commitment to the JCC enables us to help so many others in so many ways!
Enjoy Fun and Funky Entertainment!
The Unexpected Boys will present their award-winning tribute to one of the most recognized bands to ever hit the airwaves – Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. The group has headlined all over the world for such celebrities as Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, and Chubby Checker. Don’t miss your chance to see these Jersey wise guys sing hits like “Sherry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Let’s Hang On,” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” in a performance you’re sure not soon to forget!
Simply Diamond is by far the most musically authentic Neil Diamond tribute band, Neil Diamond tribute artist or Neil Diamond tribute act that is currently performing. This is not just another Neil Diamond impersonator or Neil Diamond lookalike. Simply Diamond is much more!
These performances of stars of yesterday and today will have you singing and dancing all night long!
And while you’re groovin’ to the tunes in your casual chic attire, you can cruise on over to the Chinese Auction to check out the donated items up for auction. There’s something for everyone!
The evening will allow guests plenty of time to relax with friends and network with colleagues. Gala 2012 is a great opportunity to become acquainted with potential customers as well as new friends.
