JARC Presents 16th Annual SpringElation Family Event

Join us for this year's JARC SpringElation fundraiser, an all-inclusive
and private evening at The Detroit Zoo on Wednesday, May 28, 2014 from 6
p.m. to 9 p.m. Guests will enjoy a picnic dinner and dessert catered by
Quality Kosher Catering (dietary laws observed), free parking, and
access to many of the Zoo's popular exhibits and attractions, including
rides on the Carousel and Tauber Family Railroad. Live entertainment
will be provided by StarTrax and there will be a special opportunity to
get your picture taken with PAWS, the Detroit Tigers mascot. Door prizes
will be given away and the event will also feature crafts and games
with prizes for kids.

All proceeds raised at this family
community event will benefit hundreds of children with disabilities,
including autisim, developmental delays and physical and emotional
disabilities, and their families. JARC's services for children with

disabilities include in-home respite by trained caregivers, social
opportunities for teens, and advocacy with schools and agencies on
behalf of families.

Ticket cost for JARC's SpringElation is $25
per guest (children under 2 are free). For more information, to purchase
tickets, or learn more about sponsorship opportunities, please visit www.jarc.org or call 248.538.6611.
