Dear JCC Members and Prospective Members,
Your help can change a child’s life!
I am writing to let you know of an exciting and timely opportunity to improve the lives of children here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Each summer we support families through our scholarship programs to make camp possible for as many children as we can.
Our JCC summer day camp for children ages 5 to 14 years old is one of the most eagerly anticipated programs we offer. It is a nine-week summer day camp in its 92nd successful year that provides children with a fun, exciting, safe, and educational experience in a supervised environment.
Each week of camp is focused on a specific theme that includes a variety of healthy activities such as sports, swimming, gaga, archery, art and performing arts. Children form some of their fondest childhood memories attending our JCC summer camp.
With today’s economic hardships placed on many of our families, it has become vital to offer even more scholarship assistance this year than in previous summers. We can only do this through the generosity of donors like you.
Please consider giving a child a JCC Camp summer experience and make a difference in his or her life by providing either a full scholarship ($225 for one week of camp) or by contributing at any level to our JCC Camp Summer Scholarship Fund. These children urgently need your help to enjoy a wholesome summer camping experience. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to attend summer camp.
Thank you for making the Friedman JCC a philanthropic priority! The fact that you have continued supporting our campers during a challenging time for us all, speaks volumes of your kindness and compassion.
A gift of $225 covers the cost of one week at JCC Summer Camp and can make a world of difference to a child. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
