Chartered in 1983 as a fundraising and support organization for Shepherd Center, the Junior Committee plans year–round for Derby Day.
This group of young professional volunteers (22–35 years old) has contributed over $3.5 million to–date toward the wide variety of Therapeutic Recreation projects and programs benefiting Shepherd’s patients.
This year, Junior Committee is celebrating its 28th year. Starting as a small group, the Committee has grown to over 300 members. Having fun and meeting new people while raising money and supporting Shepherd Center has been the success of the committee.
