Join us for an unforgettable evening of inspiration, entertainment, and giving. This year marks the 18th or Chai, anniversary for the JFS' most significant fundraiser, JFS Innovators.
This prestigious event attracts over 400 attendees including corporate and political leaders, philanthropists, and thoughtful leaders, and is dedicated to fostering community innovation and leadership. Headlined by influential thinkers and change-makers, Innovators has successfully raised over $5 million in the past 17 years, supporting vital JFS programs for individuals and families in need.
This year’s milestone will be celebrated with a reimagined evening cocktail reception, where you can expect exquisite culinary offerings—including kosher options—and carefully crafted beverages. The program will feature insights and special moments highlighting JFS's invaluable initiatives, ensuring an immersive experience for all guests.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Vancouver skyline, promising an unforgettable experience for attendees. Scheduled for May 28th from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the event will unfold at the elegant D6 Bar and Lounge, nestled within the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver Hotel. Guests will enjoy the cozy and comfortable atmosphere with ample seating and multiple lounge sections as well as an inviting outdoor patio.
In addition, the evening will include a Fund-a-Need initiative to support JFS’s vital programs hosted by Fred Lee, a renowned figure in Vancouver's social scene and Master of Ceremonies, actress Christina Chang, who has appeared in several television shows and movies, and is currently playing the role of Dr. Audrey Lim on the ABC show “The Good Doctor” (which has shot in Vancouver the past 7 years).
Your participation in this Innovators is a step toward positive change. Together, we can create a ripple effect that extends far beyond the event itself. Join us in making a difference and leaving a lasting legacy.
