Allow Others to Experience the JCC – Make a Gift to the JCC Scholarship Funds
Being there for the community is something the JCC prides itself on…and scholarships have always been available for those who demonstrate a true need. But, with the economic downturn, rising fuel, utility and food costs, more and more individuals are turning to the JCC looking for help to participate in their community – more than we are able to help.
Many past recipients are now donors to our scholarship funds. You can help others experience the JCC – all donations to the scholarship campaigns will enable a child to attend camp, come for a full-day Jewish preschool education, or enable a family or senior adult in need be a part of their community with a recreational or social membership.
Click here now to help keep a ‘kid’ in camp, educate a child in a Jewish environment, or give the gift of membership and participation to someone who needs it most.
