As spring blossoms in Jessamine County, so does the opportunity to give back and celebrate our community through the Jessamine County Education Foundation (JCEF) Fundraiser Dinner. Scheduled for March 22 at 6:00 PM, the welcoming halls of East Jessamine High School will be transformed into a hub of compassion and community spirit. This event isn’t just about raising funds; it’s a heartfelt gathering where local residents, business owners, and supporters of education come together with a shared mission—to enrich the educational experiences of students across Jessamine County Schools.
The JCEF Fundraiser Dinner is more than a delightful evening; it’s a catalyst for change and growth within our local education system. Last year, thanks to the generosity and spirit of attendees, the foundation successfully funded over $8,000 in classroom grants and $4,000 in scholarships dedicated to furthering the education of our teachers. This year, the foundation ambitiously aims to match or surpass these accomplishments by again supporting classroom grants and scholarships while also focusing on enhancing safety initiatives across the district. This means that every ticket purchased, every bid placed in the live auction, and every donation made takes us one step closer to a brighter, safer future for our students and educators.
Attendees of the fundraiser can look forward to an evening filled with engaging activities, heartwarming camaraderie, and the chance to make a tangible difference. The dinner itself promises delectable choices for all palates, followed by the thrill of a live auction where the spirit of generosity truly comes to life. Entertainment throughout the night will keep spirits high, and the inclusion of pull tabs pays homage to the JCEF Bingo roots, adding an element of nostalgic fun to the proceedings. With individual tickets priced at just $25, it’s an accessible way for anyone in the community to contribute to this noble cause. Those wishing to attend can secure their spot by reaching out via email to Chris Hawboldt or Matthew Simpson, ensuring your place at an event that promises not just a memorable evening but a chance to invest in the future of Jessamine County’s students.
We cordially invite every resident, potential homebuyer, business owner, and friend of education in Jessamine County to join us in this celebration of community and compassion. It is through your support that the JCEF can continue its vital work — funding programs that nurture the educational and personal growth of our students. Let us come together as a community to show our unwavering support for the advancement of our schools, making this fundraiser a resounding success. We look forward to sharing this special evening with you and taking another step toward a brighter future for our children.
