center SUPPORT Caring for Our Community The JCCGW plays a unique role as the heart of our community because our doors are always open to welcome everyone. We are the place that so many of you call your “home away from home” – where you work out at the fitness center, relax and schmooze with friends over coffee or lunch, bring your kids to camp, take your grandchildren to preschool, and enjoy being part of a warm, welcoming, accessible community. As the heart and home of our community, the JCCGW serves as a vital resource for individuals and families in our community who are struggling financially. Each year, we receive requests for more than $500,000 in financial aid. With your support, we are able to provide financial assistance and support services to hundreds of children, adults and senior adults in our community in the form of: • Scholarships to families in need who otherwise could not afford to give their children a Jewish preschool education or summer day camp experience; • One-on-one camp counselors for children and young adults with special needs so that they can have a fun and meaningful summer camp experience in our nationally-recognized inclusion program; • Reduced-rate memberships for adults with disabilities living in group homes, so that they can enjoy all that the JCCGW has to offer; • Support services for senior adults, including hot kosher meals, continuing education, health & fitness programs and social opportunities, helping them to live independently as long as possible. Annual Fund donations make it possible for us to offer more than $500,000 in financial JUNE 2012 assistance each year to these individuals and families, so that everyone can participate in our programs and be part of a community that feels like home. With so many individuals and families counting on our support, please consider donating today to the JCCGW’s Annual Fund. Your compassion and generosity will have a tangible impact on their lives. If you have already given, thank you for your generosity! Your kindness is greatly appreciated. If you have not yet found the time to contribute, your thoughtful gift today will help someone in need.
