Juntos Together (JT), in partnership with the State Theatre New Jersey, invites you to the premiere of the documentary of its first Puerto Rico Rebuilding Project on Wednesday, October 3, 2018 from 6:00-9:00 pm, at the renowned State Theatre New Jersey, 15 Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick.
Tickets for the Documentary Premiere are available at Eventbrite.
General Admission: $30 ($35 at door)
Students (w/ID): $20 ($25 at door)
Seniors (60+) (w/ID): $20 ($25 at door)
Along with the documentary, there will be music, T-shirt sales, a raffle, and an art auction.

The Puerto Rico Rebuilding Documentary tells the story of Juntos Together’s efforts in April 2018 to rebuild the walls and roofs of six (6) homes of first responders (Fire Fighters, Police and Paramedics) and other local families in need, who sustained massive damage to their homes as a result of Hurricanes Irma & Maria in September 2017. Teams of volunteers came from Greater New Brunswick, other parts of the US, and Puerto Rico. They used their vacation and personal time to participate in this effort.
The Documentary Premiere also kicks off Juntos Together’s fundraising efforts to support our Puerto Rico Rebuilding Project #2, scheduled for spring 2019. Additional funds raised will support other sustainability efforts in Puerto Rico.

See you on Wednesday, October 3 at 6:00 pm!
