Our 2023 Legacy Gala was a fantastic success, thanks to our students and adults, attendees, volunteers, donors, staff, and community. With your help, we were able to raise $500,000 to help further our mission of providing diversified programs to children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

This year we presented Dr. Thomas Bell and Dr. Natalie Parisi Bell with our Halo Award, which is given to those who tirelessly support the mission of JPII.

Turie Sotzin received our Peggy’s Legacy of Faith Award for supporting our mission and holding us close to her heart.

Congratulations to our raffle winner – Jane!
