We are thrilled to be hosting our third annual gala, an opportunity for the Jewish Family Services community to come together, celebrate, and raise funds for our critical, life-saving programs: the Matzah Ball! This ticketed event will be held on Thursday, March 12, 2026 at The Admiral Room. The night will feature a plated dinner, an awards ceremony, open bar, silent auction highlighting local experiences, dancing, and more. Each year, this event will have a theme, prompting guests to dress up to match it. This year’s theme is… Deep Roots, Green Shoots! Jewish Family Services of WNY has a long-standing tradition of resolutely serving Buffalo and Western New York. Across centuries, we have adapted to the needs of an ever-changing, beautiful community to continue providing vital care. The 2026 Matzah Ball honors our deep roots while celebrating our green shoots, the new programs and faces that have made this past year special! CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS
