Raise a mistle-toast to the holiday season! The Friends of Jack & Jill Center – a support group of volunteers committed to developing community awareness, fundraising and program assistance for Jack & Jill Center’s children and their families – is excited to host the 22nd Annual Stiles Light Up Downtown, presented by Michele and Joe Maiuro, at The Plaza on Las Olas on Tuesday, Nov 28, at 5:30 p.m.

Adults are invited to ring in the holiday season while giving back to the community with unlimited cocktails, canapés and festive live entertainment including carolers, jugglers and stilt walkers. The event will culminate with the magical lighting of a 30-foot Christmas tree, illuminating downtown Fort Lauderdale.

The proceeds from the event will benefit Jack & Jill Center’s mission to strengthen children and families through innovative education, supportive programming and community engagement. Jack & Jill Center supports children of high-need working families through quality early childhood education, elementary education, family strengthening program and HEALTH Program to ensure every child and family has the tools they need to be successful. Jack & Jill Center has served 26,000 children and families in South Florida since 1942.
