Philanthropy

CEO, Jacqueline Vazquez believes in giving back to organizations that align with her upbringing and her values. This is why Lifetime Events by Jacqueline supports the Girls Inc of Westchester organization.

An annual donation is made to the organization on behalf of Lifetime Events by Jacqueline and in 2023 Jacqueline created a fundraiser in memory of her mother Rosa Santiago. Jacqueline is an only child raised by her mother. She was appreciative of the efforts, struggles and dedication her mother made on her behalf to ensure she excelled, and that she did.

If you would like to donate, Girls Inc of Westchester created a link where you can donate benefiting and contributing girls programs. Jacqueline has been associated with this organization since 2007. Any donation is appreciated.
