The 11th Annual Janus Create Connect and Commit Fundraising Breakfast Raised $132,000

As Janus Developmental Services continues to celebrate its 40th anniversary of serving the community, the not-for-profit agency hosted the 11th Annual Create, Connect and Commit Fundraising Breakfast on May 3rd, at the 502 East Event Centre in Carmel.  With 530 guests in attendance and over $132,000.00 raised to date, this was the largest fundraising event that Janus has ever presented and donations are still coming in! 

​

Highlights of the event included the Janus Choir performing “This is Me” from The Greatest Showman and heart-warming, inspirational stories celebrating the successes of Janus clients.  Over the winter, the 502 East Event Centre’s Executive Chef, Brett Lewis, built a relationship with several Janus clients who were excited to help the morning of the breakfast with some of the meal preparation.
