Dear valued members and friends of the Jamaican American Association of Central Florida Inc.,

Welcome to 2025, a year in which the Jamaican American Association of Central Florida Inc. will celebrate forty (40) years of service to Central Florida and Jamaica.  As I begin my third and final term as President, I'm filled with gratitude and a deep sense of accomplishment. Our mission to promote education, youth engagement, community service, and emergency assistance remains at the forefront of our efforts, and I'm proud of our significant strides.

​

I extend my heartfelt appreciation to our dedicated members, whose tireless support drives our accomplishments. Notable achievements include our Annual Independence & Scholarship Awards Gala, scholarships for students of Jamaican heritage, hurricane relief efforts, and participation in community events like the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade and Zora Neale Hurston Festival.

​

As we move forward, I am excited to continue advancing equity, amplifying the voices of newer and younger members, and driving collaborative efforts. If you're not already part of our community, I invite you to join us in creating positive change and strengthening communities in Central Florida and Jamaica.

​

Support our efforts by:

 

• Becoming a member and joining our vibrant community

• Sponsoring a scholarship to empower our youth

• Donating to a specific cause for tangible impact

• Attending our ticketed events

 

You may make one-time or recurring donations of any amount. Every contribution counts.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

 

Sincerely,

 Joan Edghill, M.Ed.

President, Jamaican American Association of Central Florida Inc.
