Center Celebration

Center Celebration: Make it POP!
A tribute to Jewish pop stars of the ‘70s and ‘80s
This year's Center Celebration - Make it Pop was such a success! Thank you to our incredible event committee, our generous sponsors, our dedicated JCC staff, and everyone who came out to support, celebrate, and dance the night away!
A special shoutout to Nu Groove featuring Cha Wa’s Grammy-nominated Joe Gelini and Alix Paige, whose extraordinary talent—and surprise guest appearances— made the evening shine!
Your support and generosity at Center Celebration help the JCC continue offering meaningful programs for families, children, older adults, and everyone who calls this place home. We’re deeply grateful for this community, and we can’t wait for next year!
For more information, please contact Elizabeth Smith.
