Thank you to everyone who attended the ECC Kids & Parents Paint Party last Sunday, hosted by JCC board member Rani Sherblom as part of our Parties Around Town 2026 fundraiser series!

We are incredibly grateful to Rani for opening her home and creating such a warm and welcoming experience for ECC families.

Events like these showcase the special bonds that make our JCC community so strong, while helping ensure that children and families can continue to access the programs and opportunities they need through scholarship support.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for The Next Lap: A Poolside Benefit for JCC Swim Scholarships, hosted by Worcester JCC Board Member Sarah Connell Sanders as part of our Parties Around Town 2026 fundraiser series!

The evening was a meaningful celebration of Sarah's lifelong connection to the Worcester JCC, from her days swimming with the Worcester Wahoos to becoming a scholarship recipient and now a dedicated community leader. Guests enjoyed an unforgettable night by the pool, including special performances from current Worcester Wahoos swimmers, while raising critical funds for the Worcester JCC Youth Scholarship Program.

We are so grateful to Sarah for sharing her story and helping ensure future generations of children have access to the same life-changing opportunities she experienced at the J.

A special thank you to Mike Hendrickson for capturing these wonderful moments from the evening!

She also puts her basketball skills to the test (with mixed results) as she reminds families that there is still limited space available in our Summer Sports Camp programs. To wrap things up, Rochelle highlights some of the exciting Parties Around Town experiences coming up this summer, offering great opportunities to connect with friends and members of the community while supporting the Worcester JCC Youth Scholarship Fund.
