How do I buy tickets?
You can access the ticket link at https://G2G2026.givesmart.com.
Tickets include $25-$75 food and drink packages for one (1) to keep you fed and your drinks full all night.
Want to help cover the cost of a teacher to attend? All teachers and staff are invited to the event at no cost to them. They are also treated to a happy hour beforehand. Please help FOJ with this expense by purchasing Cover a Teacher/Staff.
There will also be an option to pay however much you can at the door that night with all forms accepted. FOJ wants to make sure our events are accessible to everyone. A contribution - in any amount - is very much appreciated. Or please see Ms. Margo anytime in the main office.
If that donation this year is your ticket too, then we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you’re able to contribute more, we appreciate that as well, and that opportunity will come during our live donation appeal on Give to Grow Night – read about it below!
What is a live donation appeal?
We want to keep the night simple and fun! Later in the evening, all guests will have the opportunity to give even more to Jahn through our live donation appeal. The live appeal will be our direct ask for your support to donate to the school on a scale of varying dollar amounts. We will start with our highest goal as well as give different donation levels to meet everyone's reach. Visit here to see last year's live donation appeal video.
There will be a couple of ways to pledge your financial support – by raising your paddle (hand) or more privately through an anonymous text-to-give option. This year, our live appeal goal is $40,000. All donations are tax-deductible.
The live appeal should only take 30 minutes. Can’t make the event? There will be an opportunity to donate online. You can donate now at the link: https://G2G2026.givesmart.com. Your contribution will count towards our fundraising goal. This is our last and largest fundraiser of the school year, so invite and/or share it with family and friends. Let's finish strong!
