THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING COMMUNITY GROWTH
The JRCC hosted an online Day of Giving campaign in mid-February to galvanize support for the JRCC and its branches. The theme of the campaign was “Activate. Tremendous. Growth,” with the goal of raising funds to support the JRCC and its branches in their plans for building new centers, expanding their reach, and enhancing their programs to ensure that no Russian Jew is left behind. In total, hundreds of generous donors contributed toward the successful campaign, an inspiring show of support for JRCC by members of the JRCC community, local residents, and people around the world. Thank you to all those who participated in the campaign and the extra efforts of those who formed “teams” to encourage others to give. Special thanks to our generous matchers, whose commitment made this project possible and makes this campaign so much more exciting.
