President's Message

With the help of our friends in the community, Jenna's Rainbow Foundation continues to flourish. Fundraising efforts over the past year have helped our balance sheet grow to over $600,000. Jenna's wish for "making the world a rainbow" is being fulfilled. We are honored and grateful for your ongoing support and contributions enabling us to continue our mission.

As many of you are aware, Beth Israel's Institute for Neurology and Neurosurgery (INN) has been our primary source of patient referrals and home to our ongoing programs. Beth Israel North Medical Center recently closed its doors and relocated to other facilities. In addition to implementing our existing programs in these new locations, we have taken this opportunity to consider additional ways in which JRF can support programs and become involved in new activities.

As you read, we hope you are as pleased as we are by the new and promising JRF developments.

Sharon Potolsky
Board President
