About Us
Events that change the world.
Our unique event center helps change the world by supporting children and families in our community.
Imagine that your event will help support children who have developmental disabilities, those who have experienced abuse and neglect, and the trauma of a mass shooting — all part of the mission of JAFCO, the non-profit that whose services benefit from the Illuminate venue.
A community of love and support for children and families… we are at your side.
We are all connected in this very special world, one in which all of us together are committed to acts of love and kindness, a world dedicated to helping others, where every child and every family in our community receives the love, support, empowerment and compassion they need. We are here for one another… always at your side.
JAFCO Children’s Village programs touch the lives of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. The JAFCO Children’s Village campus provides an actual home to over 100 children each year in our emergency shelter or group homes, and is the only center of its kind in the Jewish community in the nation. Another 600 children each year find safety in either our foster care, adoption or family preservation programs.
