JUNIOR AUXILIARY GALA FOR THE KIDS
Thank You for Supporting Our 2025 Gala!
Thank you to everyone who attended our 2025 Gala, Fireflies and Starry Nights: Shining Bright for the Kids. Whether you joined us in person, bought split the pot raffle tickets, bid on silent auction items, gave a donation, or served as a sponsor, we truly appreciate your support.
Because of you, we are able to continue serving the children and families in our community through our ongoing service projects. Your involvement helps us live out our mission:
Caring Hearts. Helping Hands. Changing Lives.
Planning is already underway for our 2026 Gala, and we hope you will join us again for another special evening.
Our Gala is our one and ONLY fundraiser each year, and the funds raised will directly support our ongoing service projects, impacting the lives of children, youth, and their families. Every dollar raised allows us to serve more children, make a greater impact, and continue our mission.
The Junior Auxiliary of Biloxi-Ocean Springs (JABOS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to improving the lives of children and their families. We live by our motto: “Caring Hearts. Helping Hands. Changing Lives.”
Save the date: June 20, 2026 and get ready for a night to remember! Together, we can make this year’s Gala the most impactful yet.
