Having a philanthropic heart best describes the homeowners and decorators of the JCYM Home for the Holidays Homes Tour as they volunteer their homes, time and talents to make the 18th annual tradition a much-anticipated holiday event. This year, five extraordinary south Leawood homes will be open to the public on Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. 

“Since its inception, JCYM has donated nearly $1.6 million and given more than 437,000 service hours to numerous local philanthropies,” says Vida Leming, JCYM’s president. “Our annual homes tour has been the cornerstone of JCYM’s fundraising efforts for the last 17 years. The tremendous support and generosity of area residents who attend our homes tour and shop at our boutique make it possible for JCYM to provide crucial financial assistance to countless men, women and children in need right here in Johnson County. We are so very proud to serve and be a part of this wonderful community.”

Now in its 48th year, JCYM is a philanthropic organization with 270 members. Its goals are to promote and foster a positive future for area residents in need through volunteerism, financial support and education. It’s estimated that this year alone JCYM philanthropies will assist 54,760 Johnson County residents. Proceeds from the homes tour will benefit Evergreen Living Innovations Inc., Friends of Shawnee Indian Mission, Head Start of Shawnee Mission, Johnson County Christmas Bureau, SafeHome, TLC for Children and Families, the JCYM Charitable Gift Fund and the JCYM Scholarship Fund.
