“A Ticket to Camp”

“A Ticket to Camp”

Dear Friends,

The Camp Judaea story is one of family, fun, culture, heritage, and Tzedakah.  Camp Judaea is a very special place and hundreds of children dream of the opportunity of being a part of our family.  As a Camp Judaea community, we have the task of raising scholarship monies that will help to make the dreams of our campers a reality; providing them with the financial resources they need which will enable them to obtain their “Ticket to Camp”.

Last summer Camp Judaea was able to raise $60,000 toward scholarship.  In addition, our campers received funds totaling over $100,000 from Hadassah, Jewish federations, synagogues and family, enabling them to send their children to camp. Unfortunately, we were not able to help all of the campers in need.  This summer, the task will be even greater due to the continued economic turmoil. We are in dire need of your financial support.

As we approach the end of the year, we encourage you to strongly consider your support for Camp Judaea and a gift to our scholarship project “A Ticket to Camp” which will directly enrich the lives of more and more children this summer and in the summers to come.  Any gift, no matter how large or small will make an impact in the life of a Jewish child for whom a summer camping experience will otherwise be out of reach.  All scholarship gifts will be matched 1:1 by the Marcus Foundation up to a maximum of $30,000, making our goal of $60,000 more attainable.  We are very grateful for this opportunity and all of your support.  Your contribution will indeed be “The Ticket” in accomplishing our mission of creating tomorrow’s Jewish leaders.

Change the life of a child today by supporting “A Ticket to Camp” with your tax deductible Hanukkah gift. To donate CLICK HERE or send a check to Camp Judaea, 2700 NE Expy, C500, Atlanta, GA 30345.

Happy Hanukkah and thank you in advance for your support!
