But it's not all about the work for Jake. He's gives back too. The day before Source Code opens, Jake will be on Regis and Kelly and then take some time to give back to the New Eyes for the Needy organization that Jake has been involved with for years.
Jake stopped off to the New Eye headquarters in New Jersey last spring when he took time from from his PoP schedule to meet with the staff and volunteers who's mission is to bring the gift of improved vision those in need so they to pursue a better quality of life for themselves, their families and their communities. Jake now also serves as a member of their board.
New Eyes is having its annual See For Change II event at the La Pomme in NYC on March 31st, from 6:00 - 10:30 pm. Guests are invited to bring any unwanted eyeglasses for donation, and will enjoy hors d'oeuvres, music provided by DJ Louis XIV, as well as happy hour drinks specials throughout the night. At the center of the event will be the See for Change II silent auction. The Dress? As they say "to impress."
And how is the new board member pitching in ? By kicking off the event of the night, and with that brand of enthusiasm he has, no doubt he will have everyone in the room lining up to bid on something.
