Jawonio Virtual Gala 2026

Jawonio 2026 Virtual Gala: Help Keep the Promise

When your child needs help, when someone you love is struggling, or when you worry about their future, having somewhere to turn means everything.

For thousands of children, adults and families across Rockland and Westchester, that place is Jawonio.

Join NBC 4 New York meteorologist Janice Huff on Sunday, December 6, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. for the 7th Annual Jawonio Virtual Gala, streaming at jawonio.org.

Through moving personal stories, meet the people, families and staff who show what support makes possible: a child finding their voice, an adult building independence, a person finding meaningful employment, and someone taking the next step toward mental health recovery.

This year, the need for your support is especially urgent. Fundraising has fallen behind, and the gala raises essential funds to help sustain services that families count on every day. As you plan your holiday giving, please make room for Jawonio.

We are proud to recognize our 2026 honorees:

• Friends Award: Hon. Lou Falco and Hon. Lon Hofstein
• Corporate Partner Award: USI Insurance Services, represented by Jack Coomber and Mary Jo Jacobs
• Sandy Sewell Advocacy Award: Scott Salmon

Please give today, invite others to watch, and help keep the Jawonio promise to the people and families who need us.
