Christmas in August

August 26, 2025

Jayani’s Army made its first debut in Columbus, Ohio at Nocterra Brewing Company in August 2025. The event functioned as an open house and served to spread the mission and purpose of the organization to the Columbus community. Each attendee was eligible for a chance to win one of our raffle baskets, which included Ohio State football tickets, various gift certificates, or additional prizes. Our mission statement was given by President, Jaideep Seth, who overviewed Jayani’s story and the purpose of Jayani’s Army.

When starting up the foundation in Columbus, we hoped to raise funds to support five families at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. With the help of our supporters and the success of our first event, we were able to double the amount of families served this holiday season. 

We would like to thank our sponsors for the event: Nationwide Children’s, Nocterra Brewing Co., Jeni’s Ice Cream, and Schneider’s Florist (Springfield)! Nationwide Children’s for partnering with our organization and allowing us to donate to their families. Nocterra Brewing Co. for providing a beautiful space to host our event. Jeni’s Ice Cream for providing many delicious flavors of ice cream. Schneider’s Florist for providing beautiful floral centerpieces
