What Is CILebrate?

A Season of Celebrating Champions of Independence

Because no one achieves it alone. No one…

At CIL Jacksonville, we’ve seen time and again that true independence flourishes in community. It’s made possible by the compassionate people who show up with time, resources, and belief in what’s possible.

Whether it’s a dedicated volunteer offering encouragement, a family member cheering each milestone, or a partnering agency creating new opportunities, every supporter plays a vital role in the journey. Even government allies help strengthen the systems that make growth sustainable. Together, these difference makers uplift the lives of thousands throughout Northeast Florida. Their collective impact is not only visible—it’s transformative. And by standing with them, you too become part of a movement that redefines what’s possible.

See you there!
