Event Recaps Young Professionals Night at Alon’s Bakery

On May 7, 2024, JELF hosted a memorable event at Alon’s Bakery at Phipps Plaza, gathering over 50 young professionals from around Atlanta. This special evening provided an opportunity for attendees to learn more about JELF’s mission and hear firsthand from former recipients about the life-changing impact of JELF’s support.

The atmosphere at Alon’s Bakery was vibrant and welcoming, filled with amazing people and plenty of fun. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the heartfelt stories shared by former JELF recipients. These individuals spoke passionately about how JELF’s interest-free loans enabled them to pursue higher education despite financial challenges. Their stories were a testament to the profound difference JELF makes in the lives of students who are unable to fully afford their education costs.

One recipient shared, “Without JELF, attending college would have been a distant dream. Their support allowed me to focus on my studies and achieve my goals.” Another echoed these sentiments, stating, “JELF’s assistance was not just financial; it was a vote of confidence that empowered me to strive for success.”

The event was not only informative but also a celebration of community and shared values. Attendees enjoyed delicious offerings from Alon’s Bakery, networked with like-minded professionals, and engaged in meaningful conversations about the importance of education and support for students in need.

As the evening concluded, there was a palpable sense of camaraderie and commitment to JELF’s mission. We are grateful to everyone who attended and made the night so special!

Stay tuned for future young professionals events and opportunities to make a difference with JELF. Together, we can continue to support students in achieving their educational dreams and building a brighter future.
