ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This year’s Grow a Legacy event will highlight the transformative power of endowments on Jewish summer camp. For so many, Jewish identity, confidence, and belonging were formed at camp. Legacy gifts and endowments ensure that every child can access these sacred experiences and that Jewish camps continue to thrive for generations.
