Our esteemed executive director, Michelle Dunham, a dedicated leader and the visionary founder of JSA, and her sister, Captain Sandy Yawn, a renowned figure from Bravo TV’s Below Deck Mediterranean were recently bestowed with the prestigious title of Co-Godmothers for the illustrious Ascent, the latest jewel in Celebrity Cruises impressive fleet. This extraordinary recognition pays homage to their unwavering commitment to numerous charitable endeavors, including their active involvement in local community initiatives. Their tireless efforts resonate deeply with Celebrity Cruises‘ overarching goal of making a positive impact on lives across the globe.

Celebrity Cruises‘ heartfelt gesture extends beyond mere acknowledgment. Through a significant donation to JSA, they are playing an instrumental role in fortifying our programs, not only benefiting our students and their families but also championing the Northeast Florida Autism community. This generous support from @Celebrity Cruises embodies a profound commitment to our shared mission of educate, engage, and inspire.

The synergy between JSA’s endeavors and the philanthropic beliefs of Celebrity Cruises is a testament to their shared vision of fostering positive change and uplifting those in need. We express our profound gratitude to Celebrity Cruises for aligning with our values and for their invaluable contribution, which empowers us to continue making a transformative impact in the lives of many. Together, we are not just partners; we are beacons of hope, illuminating pathways toward a brighter, more inclusive future for all!#jsakids #celebritycruises #celebrityascent #1in36
