Fundraising Events

Proceeds from fundraising events benefit JLGS and its community projects. The League’s 2006-2007 projects include Financial Literacy, a program to provide financial education to high school students through partnership with local youth organizations and/or schools, a new JLGS Scholarship program to provide a $1000 scholarship to an outstanding young volunteer, and various “Done-in-a-Day” projects. 

The JLGS is also continuing to work with the Cancer House of Hope as a strategic partner.  Funds raised by the JLGS are also used to send our members to volunteer leadership training events sponsored by AJLI, our parent organization.

JLGS is a non-profit organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism and to improving the community through effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. For 80 years, the JLGS has contributed over a million dollars and countless volunteer hours to numerous worthwhile service projects in Western Massachusetts, including the founding of the Ronald McDonald House and the Springfield Day Nursery. Many of the projects organized, developed and implemented by the League have gone on to become essential to the lives of people in our community.
