The Fundraising Page of Danielle Gilbert

For me, fundraising for the Jack and Jill of America Foundation is deeply personal. As a mother and leader, I have seen firsthand the power of creating opportunities for children and families that would otherwise be out of reach. Growing up, I was surrounded by strong women and community leaders who poured into me, who believed in investing in the next generation even when resources were limited. That support shaped who I am today. Now, as I look at my own daughters and the children in our community, I want them to experience the same encouragement and access to opportunity whether it’s through leadership development, educational enrichment, or programs that strengthen families. Jack and Jill has stood for those values for 75 years, and the Foundation allows us to carry that legacy forward in a meaningful way. This is not just a fundraiser for me it’s a way of saying thank you to the past, while investing in a future where every child can thrive, lead, and give back. Supporting this Gala means you’re helping us extend the kind of love, leadership, and legacy that has changed my life and the lives of so many others.
