Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center’s Eat. Bid. Laugh!! An Auction & Epicurean Event will be held on Thursday, March 30, at 6:00pm at Fresh Meadow Country Club in Lake Success. The event will feature an exciting live performance by Emmy-nominated actor and comedian Billy Gardell.

The annual event connects thousands of donors, sponsors, volunteers and participants who enthusiastically collaborate to provide Sid Jacobson JCC with funding for vital social service programs throughout Long Island. Last year’s event raised nearly $1.2 million, all of which helped enhance the lives of those who rely on the JCC’s quality services. A highlight of the event was the raising of a record-breaking more than $200,000 in scholarships for Camp Kehilla, the JCC’s pioneer camp that has served those with special needs for more than 20 years.

This year’s event will feature a live performance by Gardell, exciting silent auction prizes, gourmet cuisine, cocktails and dessert from more than 30 of Long Island’s finest restaurants. Gardell, an Emmy-nominated actor and comedian who starred on the hit CBS television series “Mike & Molly,” has a slate of several comedy specials airing on Comedy Central and Showtime. Gardell currently stars on the CMT series Million Dollar Quartet.
