The Junior Auxiliary of Biloxi-Ocean Springs ( JABOS) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization benefiting children, youth, and their families. We believe wholeheartedly in our motto “Caring Hearts. Helping Hands. Changing Lives.” and strive to improve and enrich the lives of young people and their families by meeting their physical, medical, emotional, and educational needs today in hopes of making a difference in their lives for tomorrow and years to come.
During the past year, our organization has served over 20,000 children and their families in Biloxi, D’Iberville, Ocean Springs, St. Martin, Vancleave, and surrounding areas on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Our approximately 115 active members & provisional members have volunteered over 3,500 hours of hands-on service with children and their families through our 10 service projects. As you can see, we spend the majority of our time making a difference in the lives of our young people through our service projects. Each year, we strive to have one and only one fundraiser – Gala for the Kids.
Through this event, we raise the funds needed to carry out all of our service projects for the coming year. Its success is critical to flawless execution of our service projects. The more funds we raise, the more children and youth we can serve, and the larger impact we can make in their lives and future.
We encourage you to review the attached material on our organization and service projects and hope that you will join in supporting our efforts to improve the lives of our young people and their families. Without the support of our community partners, we would not be able to make our projects and service a reality. Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
