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.
