The impact that the JLT can have on the local community is dependent on the support that is generated through fundraising opportunities, including the Whale of a Sale. With the continued support of local partners, we will be able to provide children and families in the area with programs such as Fostering Hope - Heart Gallery, Kids in the Kitchen, Kids Boutique, and Operation Prom Dress to name a few.The amount of money raised each year will determine the types of community programs, the number of children served, and the services that members are able to provide the following year.
This year the Whale of a Sale will feature and highlight our community partners throughout the weekend. This year changes are being made to the Whale of a Sale weekend. Thursday evening will be the Preview Party event that will feature on the JLT community partners, Heart Gallery of North Florida. The event expects to host 500 people that will have a chance to enjoy auctions, dinner, drinks, and live entertainment. Sponsors, community partners, and community members are invited to attend the Preview Party to spend an evening better understanding how the JLT money raised benefits the community.
Friday evening will be the "Early Bird" shopping experience for the community to come out to shop. Those people that attend the Preview Party will be admitted into the Friday shopping too. The "Early Bird" shopping is expected to bring between 500 - 700 shoppers to the event. Saturday will be the "Shopping Extravaganza" that the local community have come to know and love for over 35 years. We expect the Saturday event to have 3000 - 4000 visitors during the day.
