As well as being a frequent concert performer herself, Jeni has organized benefits and special events.
Benefits for Cuban Jewish Communities
Last year, Jenny was a major organizer of a benefit dance for the Jewish Communities of Camagüey and Santiago de Cuba which had over 150 people attending and raised more than $2300, to be divided evenly between both cities.
For this November 24, Jenny has organized a benefit concert for Cuban Jewish victims of Hurricane Ike. The concert, titled BLUES FIESTA, will feature the Ineffable Blues Band, the Burke Street Blues Band, and musician and emcee Charles Kaplan.
The concert will be at Capri Hall, 3925 Fraser Street, Vancouver. Tickets are available through Solly's Bagels, 2873 West Broadway, Vancouver. http://www.sollysbagels.com/locations.html
Funds raised go to Jewish communities in Cuba and Yad Ezer L'Chaver in Israel.

Concerts for Phuket and Darfur
There have been two concerts so far, the audience doubling from the first to the second event. The first concert was to raise funds for Phuket Tsunami relief and aid for Darfur. The second was devoted entirely to aid for Darfur.
Local Canadian musicians and performers donated their time and talents to raise over $5000.
Several Darfur representatives were in attendance.
Future events are under consideration. Check back with this site for news.
