Director of Development

Jen Tezbir

Jennifer has been in the non-profit sector since 2014, when she began her philanthropic career with the Children’s Tumor Foundation through their Walk events. After almost a decade of event management and fundraising, her passion for making a difference, particularly in the lives of children, led her into the classroom in 2022 when she became licensed as an Elementary Teacher amid the New Jersey teacher shortage. Jennifer is excited to start this new endeavor with MCF. She looks forward to partnering with other charitites and organizations to create unforgettable events and raise the crucial funds necessary to make an impact in the lives of others.
