Our 19th Annual Celebrate CJE was a tremendous success, and we owe it all to you! Your generosity and enthusiasm made it an unforgettable evening, allowing us to continue serving our community in meaningful ways.
Thanks to the proceeds from this event, CJE will be able to fund critical programs that make a lasting impact in the Chicago area. Here’s how your contributions help:
- $1,000 provides mental health counseling and support groups to family caregivers so that they can take care of themselves too.
- $600 provides six 1-hour sessions of mental health counseling.
- $500 supports four days of care at Adult Day Services for older adults with dementia.
- $200 delivers three nutritious meals a day for an entire week through our Home Delivered Meals program.
Beyond the delicious food, live entertainment, and vibrant atmosphere, Celebrate CJE has a much deeper purpose—ensuring that older adults in our community receive the care and support they need to live with dignity and joy.
Thank you for being part of this mission and making a real difference!
Looking forward to seeing you at our 2025 Celebration!
