Fulfilling Our Mission with Your Help
Join us on April 25, 2026, for our 16th Annual Legacy Gala as we celebrate our students, adults and staff, and share our gratitude for those who made it possible for us to do so. The evening includes 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. Through your support, we can continue living our mission to serve children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

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 Kevin and Susan Timochenko will be honored for their support of JPII scholarships.
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 David Lomnychuk.
