The recipient will receive a beautiful tribute card, sent on your behalf, that can include your personal message. You will receive an acknowledgement of your contribution from the JCC.
Donations can be made toward the JCC’s General Fund, to a specific program area, to an existing Endowment Fund or an area of your choice.
