FALL VIRTUAL FUNDRAISER JESPY House is nearing its second Virtual Fall Fundraiser, IT’S A JESPY DAY, which will take place on November 2nd at 7pm. The South Orange based organization supports adults with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (age 18 and up). The fundraiser will raise much-needed funds to support JESPY clients and programming. Proceeds will also provide access to resources that JESPY clients need to learn daily life skills, problem solve, build social connections, have a successful work life, and increase their independence. “We are especially excited about this year’s fundraiser because it will give online attendees a unique view of JESPY and the importance of our services. . .expressed directly from our clients who will relay their experiences,” explained JESPY Executive Director Audrey Winkler. IT’S A JESPY DAY will also honor JESPY Board Member Judy Peskin. The nonprofit was recently notified that it will be receiving a challenge grant of $75,000 where the donor will match gifts JESPY receives for the fundraiser. This great opportunity allows all community members to help JESPY benefit from this dollar for dollar match. To become an event sponsor, make a donation, or register to attend the IT’S A JESPY DAY Virtual Fall Fundraiser, or to learn more about JESPY, visit www.jespy.org. JESPY’s wellness programs provide support in the areas of clinical & behavioral health, residential options, recreation, athletics & fitness, activities of daily living, and employment.
