Save the date for a special gathering on Saturday, January 11, 2025. Northern New Jersey is coming together to host *Founders Day 2025: United in Joy: Celebrating the Power of Us*. This is an exciting opportunity to celebrate 87 years of Jack and Jill of America, Inc., as seven sister chapters unite to reflect on their shared journey and look forward to the future.
The event will be held at The Hanover Manor, located at 16 Eagle Rock Avenue in East Hanover, NJ. It’s scheduled to run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST. Over the course of three hours, attendees will enjoy a wonderful brunch, reconnect with friends, and join in meaningful discussions. The event will bring together members from the Bergen-Passaic, Central New Jersey, Essex-Hudson, Greater Essex County, Greater Union County, Morris County, and North Jersey chapters for a warm and joyful celebration.
A highlight of the day is the engaging panel discussion, centered around the theme *United in Joy: Celebrating the Power of Us*. This conversation will explore the incredible strength, unity, and legacy of Jack and Jill mothers. It will focus on the idea that joy is more than just happiness—it’s a powerful force that strengthens bonds, drives purpose, and inspires meaningful action. The day is a chance to come together, celebrate shared commitments, and recognize how much can be achieved when everyone works as one.
This event isn’t just a time to celebrate—it’s also a way to give back. Part of the $80 admission fee will support the Jack and Jill of America Foundation’s JJ College GAP Fund. This fund provides financial help to graduating seniors from 30 of the 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), offering awards between $250 and $2,000 based on need. By attending, you’ll contribute to a program that helps students bridge financial gaps and reach their goals.
Join us on January 11 for a meaningful and joyful celebration that honors the past, strengthens the present, and looks toward the future. It’s a day to reconnect, reflect, and make a difference—together.
