The JFCS MOSAIC Awards recognize refugees and immigrants in Greater Louisville who have impacted their community. Since 2006, we have honored 95 refugees, immigrants, and first-generation Americans from 47 countries, who now call Louisville home and have made a difference in the community. The JFCS MOSAIC Awards celebrate the diversity and accomplishments of these individuals as they help build the City of Louisville and the Commonwealth of Kentucky into a brighter, more inclusive place.
The JFCS MOSAIC Awards is the signature fundraising dinner event for Jewish Family & Career Services. All proceeds directly support the critical work we do for our clients and their families.
