An Evening with Schoke JFS: Seeds for Tomorrow

Join us on May 17, 2026 for An Evening with Schoke JFS: Seeds for Tomorrow at Whispering Oaks in Norwalk.

Enjoy an elegant evening of cocktails, dinner, and dessert as we come together in celebration and honor two extraordinary community leaders:

Wheel It Forward, recipient of the 46th Annual Mitzvah Award, a community lending library providing durable medical equipment, from wheelchairs and walkers to hospital beds and shower safety gear. Serving more than 7,000 families each year, Wheel It Forward manages over 18,000 items and keeps more than 100,000 pounds of equipment out of landfills annually.

Ben Frimmer, recipient of the Community Service Award, is a Tony-nominated producer and director, veteran theatre educator, and distinguished EMS leader whose impact spans the arts and public service.

Set on 66 secluded acres of rolling hills, sweeping lawns, and tranquil ponds in the heart of Fairfield County, Whispering Oaks offers a serene and luxurious backdrop for the evening. This stunning venue beautifully reflects Seeds for Tomorrow—the values of growth, care, and community that Schoke JFS is always planting.
