Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center
Welcome to Laugh It Up Milwaukee 2019! On behalf of the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center— welcome to Laugh It Up Milwaukee! Tonight marks the seventh Laugh It Up Milwaukee, an event that demonstrates the power of organizations partnering to build a healthier Milwaukee. We’re blessed to count among our many community partners this year’s beneficiary organization, Running Rebels. Their work provides a positive alternative outlet for Milwaukee youth. At the JCC, we believe that every person, of every background and ability, deserves access to the opportunities and activities that build a safe, engaging, and healthy community. Tonight, we stand together to celebrate those ideals and put them into action. We thank our generous sponsors for making this event possible, and for showing their commitment to making Milwaukee healthier through excellence in wellness, education, and community services. And we thank you, our guests, for standing alongside the JCC, Running Rebels, and all the partners – past, present, and future – who share this vision. Tonight, our laughter will echo throughout this community and raise the voices of all those who join us.
