JJI also recognizes that some aspects of the dining experience did not meet expectations, and they are already working with new partners to ensure a smoother guest experience at future events. “Even with a few challenges, what shone through was the generosity and passion of our community,” said Dr. Susan Feneck, Founder & CEO. “The funds raised will make a lasting difference in the lives of the incredible youths and their families that we serve.”

JJI remains deeply grateful to everyone who continues to stand with JJI creating meaningful impact for the last 7 years and are looking forward to year 8 and many more together.
