DELRAY’S FAVORITE DINNER PARTY IS ON AGAIN—AND FIVE BLOCKS LONG!
EVENT DETAILS
WHAT IT IS: This signature tradition of dining under the stars down the middle of Atlantic Avenue is here again—our 13th year!—featuring a four-course legendary downtown Delray Beach dining experience you won’t want to miss.
WHERE: Right on the street, outdoors on East Atlantic Avenue, at tables stretching from Swinton Avenue to East Fifth Avenue/U.S. 1. #OUTSIDEDINING
WHEN: Monday, March 28, 2022, 5:30-9 p.m.
SEE MENUS ONLINE: View menus for the event either at DowntownDelrayBeach.com/SavorTheAvenue or at Bocamag.com/Savor-The-Avenue-2022 or at the restaurant.
WHO IT BENEFITS: The award-winning EJS Project, launched by local man Dupree Jackson in part as a result of his own experience with family drug abuse, racism and injustice, is committed to creating opportunities for Delray at-risk youth. Named in honor of his father, Emanuel Jackson, Sr., the EJS Project “is dedicated to teaching truth, challenging systems and fighting for its youth’s access to opportunity,” Jackson says.
EJS has five main programs that support and engage at-risk students ages 12 to 19 who live in low-income households primarily in The Set, and are largely Black and Haitian. These programs range from engaging students in City Commission meetings, with the Delray Beach Police Department, and other local initiatives. EJS youth also plan and organize activities to support beautification efforts in The Set, include students on organizational planning committees as well as quarterly reports to the Community Redevelopment Agency, and more. Students also participate in weekly “Community Conversations” around race equity, leadership and positive impact strategies with local leaders and professionals.
The Young Legislator program gives students the opportunity to learn the inner workings of state government, and Project Hub is a place with regular office hours at which Delray youth “can stop by, hang out, complete homework, and utilize Wi-Fi and technology.” There is also a weekly tutoring program and FSA test preparation classes. For more information on EJS, visit ejsproject.org.
