What a night! We are still riding the wave of excitement, gratitude, and community spirit from our 25th Anniversary Silver Soirée.Together, our incredible community did more than celebrate a major milestone, we made a lasting impact, raising more than $290,000 to advance the mission of the Jett Foundation. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who joined us, donated, and recognized a quarter-century of dedication to our families.
An evening like this is only possible because of the generosity and commitment of our community. We are deeply grateful to all of our sponsors whose support helped bring this special celebration to life. We would especially like to recognize our presenting sponsors, the Emilson Family and the Zack Heger Foundation. Your unwavering generosity and leadership continue to be the cornerstone of our success and a beacon of hope for the families we serve.
The room was filled with love and inspiration as we welcomed our special guests and evening’s honorees, the McSherry family. It was an absolute privilege to celebrate the family who founded Jett Foundation and recognize their profound impact on our community. Adding to the unforgettable atmosphere was our emcee, John Turco, who brought unmatched energy and humor to the stage. He kept the crowd going and the paddles raised during a thrilling, high-energy live auction that had everyone excited.
Reflecting on the milestone, Jett Foundation President & CEO Eric Snyder shared, “Looking around the room during our event, I was overwhelmed by how far we’ve come. This community started with a single family’s love and determination, and 25 years later, that same heart is driving us forward. I am incredibly proud of our past, but I am even more inspired by what we will achieve together next.”
Our guests truly embraced the evening’s western-inspired theme, creating a vibrant and memorable atmosphere. The room was filled with thoughtfully curated attire, from cowboy hats to stunning accessories that perfectly captured the blend of silver sophistication and country charm. Attendees also got to marvel at, and enjoy, a gorgeous, five-tier anniversary cake generously donated by Montilio’s Bakery, which served as a beautiful focal point for our 25-year anniversary event.
Beyond the fun, the true heart of the evening came alive during the premiere of our powerful new mission video. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as the footage beautifully highlighted Jett Foundation’s rich history over the past 25 years while casting an inspiring vision for what’s to come. Raising over $290,000 ensures that we can continue providing life-changing camp programs, financial assistance, and vital support networks to our families.
Thank you for 25 incredible years, here is to the next chapter, together!
