City Year Jacksonville invited the community to celebrate its new home at the Jessie Ball duPont Center with a Housewarming Party on Thursday, May 1.
Housewarming festivities included a little friendly trivia competition and other games, which raised nearly $12,000 for CYJ’s Whole School, Whole Child program. The program provides attendance initiatives, academic support and soft skills development for third to fifth graders at nine Duval County elementary schools.
Guests could also take photo keepsakes of the evening from the photo booth provided in between enjoying cocktails and light hors d’oeuvres and hitting the dance floor.
The local branch of the national nonprofit was previously headquartered at an office on Bay Street. This relocation comes on the heels of its 10-year anniversary and represents a strategic move for an expanded presence in the regional nonprofit sector.
At the Jessie Ball duPont Center, City Year Jacksonville joins 32 other nonprofits based in Northeast Florida.
