JCC 80th Anniversary Celebration: A Night of Community

Thursday, July 24, 2025 (6:00 PM - 9:00 PM) (EDT)

Description

JCC of Greater Buffalo

Join us as we celebrate 80 years of the JCC in Western New York with food stations, drinks, entertainment, a silent auction, a Reverse Raffle for a fabulous cash prize of $5000, and a special announcement about the JCC's future. All event proceeds will support scholarships for Camp Centerland, Early Childhood programs, Kids' Place, and family memberships. 

A Reverse Raffle is a variation on a classic raffle, but instead of only one ticket being pulled as the winner, tickets are pulled throughout the night and eliminated until the very last ticket remains; that final ticket is the grand prize winner! Every ticket to this event includes a chance at the Reverse Raffle grand prize, $5000. To increase your chances of winning, only 400 tickets will be sold! Extra raffle tickets, with no event admittance, are available until sold out. 

Over 50 silent auction items and counting will be available to bid on and win! Highlights include:
• A relaxing weekend getaway in Ellicottville for 8 adults
• Signed sports memorabilia
• Gift cards galore, to restaurants, museums, and experiences around WNY
• Private Bourbon tasting
• JCC Birthday Party Package 

Featured Entertainment: Liz Reaves is a Buffalo-based comic who won the title of Buffalo's Funniest in 2021 at Helium Comedy Club. Since then, she has performed all over Buffalo, Rochester, and the Northeast. Her storytelling style of comedy makes you feel like you've lived these jokes yourself. Liz is a regular at Helium Comedy Club and Comedy at the Carlson in Rochester. She's opened for many comedians, including Samantha Rudy, Chad Daniels, Jamie Lee, Joe Machi, and Dan Soder. Liz is no stranger to JCC Buffalo. She worked at both the Holland Family Building and Camp Centerland for 10 years.
