Frequently Asked Questions

What does this event support?
Funds raised from this event will support the work of Jewish Family Services (JFS). Since 1862, JFS of Western New York has been providing all members of our community with critical health and human services, regardless of religion, ethnicity, cultural background, gender identification, ability, or age. We stay connected to our Jewish roots by approaching clients from a place of cultural understanding and respect. We provide services like trauma systems therapy, refugee resettlement, and counseling for Jewish youth.

What does it cost?
General admission is $75 and gives you entrance to the event, access to open bar, food, and all the fun and entertainment the event has to offer. We also have an opportunity for special friends of the organization to provide extra support with our Mensch level admission. At this $500 level you are considered a sponsor of the event, receive two general admission tickets and two tickets to the pre-event VIP reception from 5:30-6:30 PM.

What can I expect?
To have a ball! We will keep you in the loop with communications leading up to the event about what the night will look like. In general, you can expect to eat some filling hors d’oeuvres and appetizers, drink beer and wine, dance the night away, see some sweet performances, and hear about the work being done at Jewish Family Services of WNY.
