JUNIOR AUXILIARY GALA FOR THE KIDS

Caring Hearts. Helping Hands. Changing Lives.

The Junior Auxiliary of Biloxi-Ocean Springs (JABOS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children, youth, and their families across the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Guided by our motto, “Caring Hearts. Helping Hands. Changing Lives.”, we work to meet the physical, medical, emotional, and educational needs of young people, helping create brighter futures for years to come.

This past year, JABOS served more than 10,000 children and families in Biloxi, D’Iberville, Ocean Springs, St. Martin, Vancleave, and surrounding communities. Our approximately 100 active and provisional members volunteered over 5,000 hours of hands-on service through 10 service projects, all focused on supporting children and families where the need is greatest.

Gala for the Kids

Our annual Gala for the Kids is our one and only fundraiser each year. Funds raised through this event provide the financial support needed to carry out all of our service projects for the coming year. The success of the Gala directly impacts how many children we can serve and how great an impact we can make in our community.

Every dollar raised stays local and helps us continue our mission of caring for children and strengthening families throughout the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Planning is underway for our 2026 Gala, and we hope you will join us for another special evening in support of our mission.
