Fulfilling Our Mission with Your Help

We look forward to celebrating with you at our 17th Annual Legacy Gala on April 24, 2027! Join us for an inspiring evening dedicated to celebrating our students, adults, and staff, and honoring the generosity of the community that makes our mission possible. The evening will include dinner, a performance by our students and adults, silent and live auctions, and the presentation of our Halo and Peggy’s Legacy of Faith Awards.

Whether you join us in person, support us through a donation, volunteer your time, or help behind the scenes, you are an important part of the JPII family. Your generosity, energy, and belief in our mission make a lasting difference in the lives of the children and adults we serve.

Together, we continue our mission to serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, creating opportunities for learning, growth, independence, and joy. We hope you will join us for an evening filled with inspiration, connection, and gratitude as we celebrate the impact we can make together.

We look forward to celebrating with you on April 24, 2027! 💙

The Halo Award

Our Halo Award honors community members who embody the spirit of our mission and who work to ensure our legacy. The evening will be highlighted by our Halo Award presentation in which Allan Myers will be honored for their support of JPII.

Peggy’s Legacy of Faith Award

Our Peggy’s Legacy of Faith Award honors the memory of the late Peggy Horrigan, who held JPII close to her heart. This recognition is given to an individual who shares Peggy’s deep love of the center as can be seen through his/her actions. This year’s award is being presented to Shelly Kreska.
