If you were able to join us on Tuesday evening, then you know how wonderful this Foundation is and you were certainly impressed by their presentations and the decisions they made together. If you were not able to join us, we had a wonderful program that highlighted the accomplishments of these teens and the impact their decisions will make on our Jewish community. You are likely wondering, 'where did they make their donations?!' I am pleased to announce the following decisions:
Jewish Family Service Food Pantry: $3,000
Dallas Hebrew Free Loan Association (College loan program): $6,000
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) (Asylum cases support): $1,000
All of these donations represent the the time and consideration of the teens, who together reviewed 12 grant requests totalling over $100,000! They made these decisions with great care, and special concern for the people who would be impacted by the funds.
I think that you will agree that with these teens as the rising leaders in our community, we are in for a bright future.
