Join us on May 8, 2023 at the Seattle Sheraton Grand Seattle. The JFS Community of Caring event brings together over 1,000 people in support of JFS. This exciting event tradition grows bigger and better every year. The 2022 Community of Caring luncheon was the most significant fundraising event in the Greater Seattle Jewish community, with contributions in excess of $1,800,000 to support JFS clients, services and programs.

Sponsorship
By sponsoring the 2023 Community of Caring fundraiser, you help cover the costs of the event so donations received can fully support individuals and families in need as they gain better well-being, health and stability.

Sponsorship benefits include recognition during the event, social media recognition and in JFS print and digital communications throughout the year. Specific benefits are available upon request.

For more information contact: Silver Lace Greitz, Director of Special Events at sgreitz@jfsseattle.org or (206) 861-3151.

The Lamplighter Society recognizes the inspiring example of individuals and families who have contributed to JFS in one or more of the following ways:

• Given $1 million or more in their lifetime.
• Made a Named Fund Endowment gift.
• Given $100,000 in one or both of the two most recent fiscal years.

The Family Tree Legacy Circle recognizes supporters who have informed us of their intent to leave a bequest to JFS, those of blessed memory who have already left such a gift and those who have made a monetary gift to the JFS Endowment in their lifetime.
