2022 Fundraiser

The Blue & Blush Brunch:  A Premiere Virtual Cooking Experience and Fundraiser! 

Who doesn’t love brunch? We do! 

From the food to the amazing ambiance, Brunch is the perfect outing and experience with family and friends. Our 2022 virtual Fundraiser, JJSSCC’s “Blue & Blush Brunch” will be the ultimate virtual cooking experience with world-renown Chef Julius Russell of “A Tale of Two Chefs.” Chef Julius will show us how to create delicious brunch favorites at home.  We’ll be “cooking with a purpose” and all you need to do is get your ingredients and get ready to cook!

The South Suburban Chicago Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated invites all guests to join us on this exciting culinary virtual cooking experience.  You can even cook with friends in your home! All proceeds from this event benefit and support Jack and Jill Foundation, college scholarships for high school Seniors, and chapter community service efforts. We hope to surpass last year’s amount, and make an even larger impact on our surrounding communities.
