Greetings!
THANK YOU! As of yesterday afternoon, Campaign 2011 reached our allocation commitment of $1,550,000! Your support ensures that our local beneficiary agencies (Albert Einstein Academy, Jewish Family Services of Delaware, Kristol Center for Jewish Life at the University of Delaware/Hillel, The Kutz Home, and the Siegel JCC) and other affiliated organizations (Jewish Historical Society of Delaware, BBYO, and Birthright Israel) will receive the critical funds they depend on.
Your support also allows us to honor our overseas commitments, continuing the valued relationship with our partnership community in Israel's Arad/Tamar region, the Ethiopian National Project and the Israel Action Network.
Federation is the one place that belongs to every Jew, the place where philanthropy, volunteerism and a shared commitment come together to make a difference, to repair the world.
Thanks to you, we are Improving Our World...TOGETHER.
