The Jewish Community Center of Greater Buffalo along with chair couple Jordan and Nikki Balsom are excited to invite the community to the JCC’s 80th Anniversary Celebration! This milestone event promises to be an unforgettable evening filled with food, drinks, entertainment, and an opportunity to support programs that have been shaping the community for decades.

The event will feature delicious food stations, refreshing drinks, a silent auction, stand-up comedy, and a Reverse Raffle offering a grand prize of $5,000. There will also be a special announcement about the future of the JCC!

Dress for the event as you would dress for a fun and fancy summer evening cocktail party. Black tie not necessary!

What is a Reverse Raffle?
If you're new to a Reverse Raffle, here's how it works: Instead of one ticket being drawn as the winner, tickets will be pulled throughout the night, eliminating each ticket until only one remains—the grand prize winner! Every guest who purchases a ticket to the event will automatically be entered into the grand prize raffle. Extra tickets will be available for an additional $80. With only 400 tickets being sold, your chances of winning are higher than ever.

Entertainment
We are pleased to announce the entertainment lineup for the evening will be headlined by comedian Liz Reaves. Liz is a Buffalo-based comic who won the title of Buffalo's Funniest in 2021 at Helium Comedy Club. Since, 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 the JCC of Buffalo either. She worked at both the Holland Family Building and Camp Centerland for 10 years.

Why Attend?
This event is not only a celebration of the JCC’s rich history, but also an opportunity to give back. All event proceeds will be 100% re-invested into the JCC to support programs and services, scholarships for Camp Centerland, Early Childhood programs, Kids' Place, and membership fee assistance, ensuring the future of these vital services.

What's Next?
Purchase your tickets today! With limited availability, we are anticipating a sold-out event!

The JCC only turns 80 once, and you won’t want to miss this celebration of community, history, and the bright future ahead. Mark your calendar and get ready for an evening of fun, surprises, and incredible prizes.
