JCCI Forward holds Prom With a Vengeance
WJCT Studios jumped in to save the day when JCCI Forward’s original location for its 3rd annual prom event had been double booked with a high school prom. The event celebrated the organization’s mission with style. Forward brings Jacksonville’s emerging leaders together to learn about the community, engage in problem solving, and act to make positive community change.
According to Michele Simkulet, director of JCCI Forward, almost 100 grownups bought tickets to support JCCI Forward and shake their money makers to the sounds of ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s tunes. Attendees came dressed in prom garb from the past, the tackier the better. Sponsors were Vestcor, Watson Realty/Juliette C.D. Vaughn, and BroadBased Communications. Munchies were provided by On the Fly and Le Petite Cheri Cupcakery while Team Black served up crisp cold Intuition Aleworks beer.
