From our toddler playground, to our preschool classrooms; from our PROS program to our main offices, the excitement is everywhere as we are proudly wearing the blue and orange for the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals tonight.
Today, all across Jawonio, we’re showing our team spirit and getting ready to cheer loud and proud! LET’S GO KNICKS! 🏀🗽💙🧡

This Pride Month, Jawonio proudly celebrates the strength, diversity, and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. We recognize that true inclusion means creating spaces where everyone belongs, is respected, and has the opportunity to thrive.
As allies, advocates, and champions of equity, we stand together in support of dignity, acceptance, and opportunity for all. Because when we lift up every voice and show our humanity, our communities become stronger.
Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

📸🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️⛳️☀️💙 What a beautiful day at Paramount Country Club! ⛳️☀️
Our morning golfers have completed the course, enjoying great weather, great company, and most importantly, golfing for a great cause. Every swing, putt, and smile helps support Jawonio's mission of empowering children and adults with disabilities, mental health challenges, and chronic medical needs.
Thank you to our morning golfers, sponsors, and volunteers for making the day so special. We can't wait to welcome our afternoon golfers and continue the fun on this spectacular day!

Our 38th Annual Golf Outing at Paramount Country Club on Monday, June 1st is about far more than golf.
We know what you’re thinking:
Will Scottie Scheffler be there? Rory McIlroy? Maybe Nelly Korda?
Well… not exactly.
While we can’t promise a Masters champion, a PGA TOUR superstar, or the No. 1 Golfer in the world will be joining us on the course this year we can promise something even more meaningful...a day filled with community, generosity, laughter, and purpose to raise funds for children and adults with special needs.

Their compassion, commitment, and dedication help individuals in our community find support, connection, hope, and pathways toward wellness every single day. The impact they make extends far beyond the walls of our programs.
Thank you for all you do not just this month, but every day.
