Matthews grant to benefit JCC’s Early Childhood Program
The Sam Pomeranz Jewish Community
Center of Syracuse has received a $1,000
grant from the Matthews Children’s
Foundation to benefit its Jerome and
Phyllis Charney Early Childhood
Development Program. This latest
round of funding is the result of JCC
Board President Steven Sisskind’s
ongoing efforts to sponsor the JCC’s
grant application.
“We are extremely grateful
for the Matthews Foundation’s
continued support of our children’s
programming,” said Sisskind. “The
foundation’s outstanding generosity
has been incredibly helpful in
providing funds for playground
equipment and much needed items in
our classrooms.”
The Early Childhood Program will
use the funds to create an outdoor
learning center where JCC preschoolers
will be able to creatively explore
their world in a hands-on manner.
