Fort Bend Junior Service League Surpasses $6 Million in Contributions, Celebrates 10-Year Partnership with Memorial Hermann
The Fort Bend Junior Service League (FBJSL) has reached a significant milestone, surpassing $6 million in total contributions to Fort Bend County nonprofits since its founding in 2000. The organization also celebrated a decade-long partnership with Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital, a collaboration that has bolstered community health and wellness through philanthropy and volunteerism.
To mark these achievements, FBJSL hosted a check presentation ceremony at Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital. This event highlighted the $335,000 raised and awarded through the 2024 Sugar Plum Market, an annual shopping extravaganza featuring over 100 vendors from across Texas, with $35,400 allocated to the FBJSL Community Assistance Fund. These funds provide emergency grants to local nonprofits addressing critical needs in Fort Bend County.
