It may not be glamorous, but it’s essential: it takes a whole lot of behind-the-scenes work (and yes, funding) to keep the Dwares JCC running strong every day. From the lights that turn on in the morning to the programs that fill our spaces with energy – it all adds up.

Thanks to your generosity last year, our “Lift the J!” campaign delivered real results. We upgraded our cardio equipment, added a new adaptive motion trainer to make fitness more inclusive, expanded what’s possible in our art studio, and made thoughtful improvements in the early childhood center and across the building to enhance the experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

Those upgrades didn’t just happen — they happened because you believed in the J and invested in its future.

This year, we’re inviting you to Lift the J! once again. Your support helps keep our doors open, our programs thriving, and our community connected. Together, we can ensure the J continues to be a place where people move, create, gather, and belong—today and for years to come.

Thank you for being part of what keeps the J strong and thank you for being part of our community!

Together, we LIFT the J!
