1000 GOVERNORS REACHED
CJCS FOUNDATION SURPASSES 1000 GOVERNORS!!
Under the leadership of Stan Abbey, Mark Bercovitz, Joyce Tanner and a whole team of dedicated volunteers, we recently reached this tremendous milestone and raised
over $300,000! Both the men (Governors) & women (Goldas) rose to the occasion in support of the Centre's services and programs.
The CJCS Governors program began 4 years ago and raised $50,000 in it's first year with 100 Governors. “We have come a long way since then” said Stan Abbey, and “we are proud of the team effort it took to get us here. I believe we have the largest Governors Program in the Jewish Community.” The Governors Board in our Hall of Honour lists all of our Governors, and needs to keep expanding as we continue to grow.. The money raised from this program is even more crucial, especially in light of recent funding cutbacks. What will be our next goal.? “We're not sure”, said Norm Latsky, Foundation President, “but I can promise you that there is no stopping us now!”
