3rd Annual Brunch, Bubbly & Beats: Supporting the HBCU GAP Fund

Come party for an important purpose with the Cherry Blossom Moms as we wrap up the HBCU homecoming season!

The Five Star, Captivating, Cherry Blossom Moms of the Nation’s Capital Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. invite you to join us for our 3rd Annual Brunch, Bubbly & Beats on Saturday, November 15, 2025 at Zooz on the Wharf in DC during our chartering anniversary weekend!  For the 2025 Brunch, Bubbly & Beats, a portion of your ticket price will support the Jack and Jill of America Foundation’s HBCU GAP Fund. 

Every year, college seniors with only one or two semesters to complete do not graduate due to unmet financial needs – the average gap being $750. The GAP Fund is an intentional effort to graduate more talented Black college students who will become the next generation of thought leaders, policymakers, educators, lawyers, scientists, doctors, and engineers. Meeting our fundraising goal will cover the average outstanding balance for 15 seniors; surpassing it will allow us to assist many more. We will do that with your support! 

Each ticket includes entry to the event, a full, delicious brunch buffet (including steak and a waffle station), bottomless mimosas (orange, peach, pineapple, apple, mango, and grapefruit juices), music by Will the DJ, photos by Cam's Camera, and a few surprises! 

The attire for our School Daze theme is day party chic. Our theme calls for your HBCU, D9, and especially your JJOA para - it's up to you! Heels and sneakers are welcome! 

You don't want to miss this!
