On Sunday, Sept. 18, JARC host-
ed its annual fundraising event, 
welcoming nearly 500 people to 
M1 Concourse’s state-of-the-art 
facility in Pontiac to raise funds 
for the nonprofit. 
 JARC serves adults with 
developmental disabilities in 
Metro Detroit in 45 locations, 
including 24-hour care in group 
homes, independent living 
settings for adults, and respite 
services for children, teens and 
young adults. 
Attendees began the evening 
with a buffet-style dinner with 
several food stations, accompa-
nied by ’90s hits played by Class 
of ’98. During dinner, guests had 
the opportunity to take thrill 
rides on M1’s Champion Motor 
Speedway and play games like 
Dance Dance Revolution, air 

hockey and various ’90s-themed 
arcade games. 
Following the indoor fes-
tivities, guests were led to an 
outdoor tent to hear speech-
es by JARC CEO Shaindle 
Braunstein and JARC President 
Joshua Tobias and to watch a 
video presentation highlighting 
JARC in the ’90s. The band Gin 
Blossoms was the headliner.
In the event video, Braunstein 
said, “The state covers 80% of 
our expenses. But who wants to 
live 80% of a life?” 
It is through generous com-
munity support that JARC can 
not only offer the best support 
to persons served, but can also 
provide a wide range of social, 
recreational and religious 
opportunities that ensure a full, 
rich life.
