Who we have supported:

At Joyful Occasions, we're more than just events, we're about making a difference. Inspired by our NYC roots, every event channels resources to either local charities or local everyday citizens, with a focus on food insecurity and education. For us, it's not just about donating, but investing in NYC's future. Here is the work we have done:

Neighbors Together

We supported their organization by raising $2,880 through the two events we hosted.

Joyful Futures Scholarship Award

We donated $2,000 in total, $1,000 to each recipient, of our 2024 Joyful Futures Scholarship Award. This went to Karen Kong and Jocelyn Jumbo, two graduating high school students to help them cover costs associated with their pursuit of higher education.

Game Over Hicks Family Foundation

We supported their organization by raising $1,500 through the 3v3 basketball event we hosted.

C.H.I.P.S Food Bank

We donated $798 to their organization, using 50% of the funds raised from our Fundraiser Flea Market.

Jodi Douglass

We donated $400 to high school student Jodi Douglass, helping her cover the costs associated with competing in the 2024 NYC Teen Beauty Pageant.

Movie Day Event

We hosted families for a free screening of Disney’s Wish at AMC Times Square during the holiday season.
