Jack Anderson Elementary Benefit at Bluegrass
FOREVER YOUNG
The highlight of our Spring Fundraiser is our annual gala—and NEW this year, we’re celebrating on a Saturday night! 🎉 Guests dress to the nines, enjoy dinner, drinks, dancing, and time with fellow parents and JAE staff, all while supporting our favorite school through live and silent auctions.
This year, let’s stay FOREVER YOUNG at our ’90s Prom–themed JAE Benefit at Bluegrass! Will you go early ’90s with big hair and bold shoulder pads, or channel Y2K with spaghetti straps and choker necklaces?
