We are excited to share the successful launch of a new program, Reward Bingo!

Reward Bingo was created as an opportunity to celebrate our clients and recognize their efforts, positive behavior, and personal growth in a fun and meaningful way. In partnership with our wonderful volunteers from Boca Woods Country Club, this program will take place every other month, beginning in May.

The Reward Bingo Program is designed to reinforce:
⭐️ Positive behavior
⭐️ Teamwork
⭐️ Individual progress and achievements

Selected participants are invited to a special Bingo session in the auditorium as a form of recognition and celebration. Each instructor nominates three participants from their classroom for the following award categories:

🏆 Kindness Champion Award 💛 – recognizing those who support others and contribute to a positive group environment
🏆 Responsibility Star Award ⭐ – recognizing positive behavior, dependability, and initiative
🏆 Effort and Growth Award 🌱 – recognizing improvement, persistence, and progress

We are pleased to share photos from our first Reward Bingo event and look forward to continuing this meaningful program!

May the Fourth be with you ✨ We had so much fun dressing up today!

This Earth Day, something special is taking off. 🚀 🌎 ✨

As excitement builds around Artemis II and humanity’s journey back toward the Moon, we’re launching a mission of our own—one rooted right here at JARC Florida.

We call it Mission Grow. 🚀🌱

Our Jeffrey and Nicole Goldberg Ability Garden isn’t just about what we plant—it’s about who grows.

It’s where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities:

⭐️ build confidence
⭐️ learn meaningful skills
⭐️ experience independence
⭐️ and take pride in something they’ve nurtured from the very beginning

There’s something powerful about watching a seed turn into something real. And for the people we serve, that growth goes far beyond the garden beds.

💪🏻 It becomes confidence.
♥️ It becomes connection.
✨ It becomes possibility.

This Earth Day, we’re inviting you to be part of that journey.

Your gift helps us:

🌱 Expand our garden space
🌱 Provide hands-on learning opportunities
🌱 Supply tools, materials, and plants
🌱 Grow a program where everyone has the chance to thrive

This month, we gathered for our 40th annual gala at Boca West Country Club. Together with ticket sales, sponsorships, raffle tickets, our silent auction and Call to the Heart, we raised an incredible $1,014,583 for JARC Florida.

We’d like to thank our gala chairs, Maggie and Robert Eigen, and the many sponsors that made this evening possible.

Congratulations to this year’s raffle prize winners, Sue and Marty Stern!

Our Sports Talk group took their annual trip to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium to see the Marlins vs the Mets! It’s quite chilly here in south Florida, so we needed some matching Cardinals sweatshirts for the occasion ⚾️ 🧢 🥜 🥤

This past Sunday, we gathered for our 40th annual JARC Gala. This video was shown on gala night featuring our client and friend, Henry. Henry is a beautiful example of the impact that our programs and services have on our clients and their families. We’re blessed to have him with us here at JARC.

As always, thank you to Playimage for helping us tell our story.
