1st Annual 33 JordynStrong Foundation Gala
The 33 JordynStrong Foundation was started in 2018 after the sudden loss of Jordyn Myers (13) who was just diagnosed with Leukemia in September. Her illness and treatment inspired the 33 JordynStrong Foundation to raise money to provide a scholarship program for kids like Jordyn, funds for research into alternative treatment methods for Leukemia, and to provide financial support to families facing the loss of a child from cancer. The 33 JordynStrong Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization in Ohio.
The Black & White Gala will take place to raise money to support this mission and these functions for 2020. Sponsors are being sought, if interested please reach out to info@33jordynstrong.org. The Foundation is 100% volunteer run and all net proceeds will go to the mission of the Foundation.
In addition to entry to the event, which is business formal (not black tie), the ticket price includes:
Appetizers
Full Buffet Dinner
Open Bar
Selfie Station
DJ and Dancing
Dessert
Tickets are $75 each, with a table of 8 at the discounted price of $550
