2017 Fall Program Guide

Supporting Your Center
315-445-2360 | www.jccsyr.org
The JCC of Syracuse is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your continued
financial contributions, gifts, grants and endowments allow us to serve
you, your family and the larger community six days per week, year round.
Funds raised are critical to daily operations, special programming, future
development and improvements, and scholarships and financial aid.
End-of-year donation
Public support is imperative to the JCC of
Syracuse’s survival. The center depends on
these donations for a full 7% of its annual
budget. Information about making a taxdeductible,
end-of-year contribution will
be sent out in late fall.
Matching gifts
Many area companies have matching gift
programs, which encourage charitable
giving by their employees. Under these
programs, companies match gifts—often
dollar for dollar or even two dollars to
one—that individuals make to nonprofit,
tax-exempt organizations. Your gift to
the JCC may qualify. Please check with
your employer to determine eligibility
requirements.
Tribute cards
To commemorate special occasions,
including births, birthdays, graduations,
anniversaries, marriages, Bar or Bat
Mitzvah, or to celebrate and honor
the memory of a loved one, the JCC
welcomes tax-deductible gifts to one of
our many endowment or special funds.
(See the tributes on page 33.) The JCC
will send an acknowledgement card to the
individual (or next of kin) in whose name
the contribution is made. Tribute cards
recognize someone special and help the
JCC. For more information, contact Erin
Hart at 315-445-2040, ext. 112.
Volunteer
An agency such as the JCC is dependent
on the enthusiasm and willingness of
community members who volunteer their
time and talents. Volunteers are invaluable
in bringing vital perspective, experience,
community and manpower to complement
those of our staff members.
Senior Adult Dining Program
Our Bobbi Epstein Lewis Senior Adult
Dining Program (see page 25) offers
seniors a hot, nutritious kosher meal
five days a week at a very affordable
price. It’s our way of “giving back” to
local seniors who form the foundation
of our community. You can help
keep this valuable program going by
making a contribution or becoming a
sponsor of our monthly senior newsletter.
For more information, contact
Erin Hart at 315-445-2040, ext. 112.
Jewish Federation of CNY
The JCC of Syracuse is a beneficiary
agency of the Jewish Federation of
Central New York. The JCC receives
funding from the Federation and
works in close partnership with it to
provide the Jewish community with
essential programs and services.
JCC families and members can help
by giving generously to the Jewish
Federation of CNY campaign.
