This is the impact you will make this summer.

We need your help to make 3,000 calls to build connections with members of our community. 
We give you the training and tools you need to be successful. No experience necessary.
You make our community stronger. Be a volunteer.

 

Imagine what would be possible if everyone in our community made an investment in Jewish Nevada and Jewish life.

 

A $36 investment is a commitment to Ryan, a college student who is now equipped to handle the threat of antisemitism on college campuses across our state like UNLV and UNR, because we are equipping our students with the tools they need to feel safe and secure.

 

A $180 investment is a commitment to Jessica, who's going to Jewish summer camp for the first time thanks to a scholarship from Jewish Nevada.

 

A $360 investment is a commitment to Matt, who joined BBYO this year at 15 years old, and finally has a safe place to be Jewish with other teenagers his age.

 

A $720 investment is put back into programming for the record number of families who are now members of the JCC of Southern Nevada.

 

A $1,000 investment is a year’s worth of meals for Fran, a Holocaust survivor, who is now homebound but is receiving the care that she needs.

 

A gift of any amount is a commitment to all of our community’s synagogues, schools, and institutions to create a safer and more secure state-wide community through the Jewish Nevada Security Initiative.

 

And, above all else, it’s a commitment to support Jews everywhere. 

As people who attended Religious School, we were encouraged to bring Tzedakah money each week. While monetarily insignificant, this normalized the act of giving at an early age. 

Then came youth group. NFTY for Jillian and BBYO for Eric, where we each volunteered our time with different non-profits in our respective cities. 

Fast forward to college, Jillian became a Kappa Delta, and Eric joined AEPi, each raising funds and awareness for their own national philanthropic causes. 

So it's no wonder that as Jewish adults, giving is just a way of life. Be it volunteering our time, giving blood, writing checks, or spreading awareness. It's just what we do and it's what we're teaching Leo to do, because it's the right thing to do. 

Summer Campaign is important to us because it funds so many of the programs that we care about it in our community. 

Join us in volunteering and investing in Jewish Nevada.

-Jillian, Eric, and Leo Potashnick
