Gala Celebration 2024

On Saturday, September 14, 2024, Jessica & Friends Community celebrated our precious individuals at our annual Gala event. They arrived donned in their best outfits, walked the red carpet, and danced the night away.

The evening included the first annual Lifetime Achievement Award presented to Skip and Peg Strayer for their unwavering encouragement, prayers, and generous support of our mission since 1998 when Jessica & Friends was founded.

Thank you to all who have made this event possible. Your support has helped to enrich the lives of men and women with autism and intellectual disabilities.

"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." ~ Romans 8:28
