Annual community campaign

Jewish together builds our future

Marcy Friedland FRD Director

We held our annual end-of-year Power of Community Celebration brunch on March 12 at our new building. The Human Needs, Patricia J. Adkins Youth Leadership, Power of Community and Stand Up for Justice awards were presented. We also celebrated where we are in our Annual Community Campaign as well as accomplishments for the year.

Even though our Power of Community Celebration is in March, our actual fiscal year is from July 1 through June 30. With that in mind, we still have work to accomplish in raising the Annual Community Campaign dollars needed.

This year’s goal is $1.6 million, and we have two months left, with your help and donations, to reach it.

Our Passover appeal letter with pledge cards were mailed out and you should have received yours by March 29. Please fill it out and return it to us before June 30. Our volunteer solicitors have been busy making calls to ask for your annual gift or pledge and to thank donors who have already given.

As another wonderful season is drawing to a close, don’t forget to make your annual gift or pledge to Jewish Federation of Greater Naples. We thank you for your continued support and will be busy working on next year’s exciting programming and events!
