Thank you for supporting our annual Laugh it Up Lauderdale Fundraiser!

All proceeds benefit the David Posnack JCC’s Merlie’s Giborim United programs and the SMS Research Foundation- both non-profit 501c3 organizations. Merlie’s Giborim United is an award-winning program for children and adults with developmental disabilities that include:

Camp Giborim, summer camp established in 1991
Gib-Connect, which offers a robust array of in-person and virtual enrichment classes in life skills, sports, and the arts, established in 2017
The Gib Shop, a mobile gift shop of extraordinary goods sold by extraordinary people, established in 2019
G.A.P., an adult day program, established in 2021

The SMS Research Foundation supports research of Smith-Magenis Syndrom (SMS, a rare and debilitating disorder that currently has no cure or treatment options).

Your support of this special event would truly make a difference to Merlie’s Giborim United as well as to children with Smith-Magenis Syndrome. All donations are tax-deductible. *Auction items and ticket purchases are not tax deductible.
