Camp Judaea Receives a $10,000 Gift


(© EllenShub 2009)

In November, Camp Judaea received a $10,000 gift from the Harold Grinspoon Foundation at the Grinspoon Institute Conference in Massachusetts.  Camp Judaea was invited to participate in the Grinspoon Institute's "Create a Jewish Legacy" Program in February.  As a part of this program, the Institute challenged our legacy team to secure 25 legacy society members by November 2009 for a gift of $10,000.  Not only was Camp Judaea able to achieve its goal of 25 members, we now have 50 members in our "Legacy for the Generations Society."

We will be utilizing the gift to plant trees at camp in honor of our legacy members and to beautify the entrance of the camp property.  Legacy giving opportunities gives you the ability to make plans today to make a gift to Camp Judaea now or in the future. Typically legacy gifts are wills, endowments, gifts of property, insurance policies or investments you own.  Thank you to all of our legacy members that have chosen to be our partners for a lifetime.

To join our Legacy for the Generations Society, please contact Greg Schlam at 404-634-7883 or gregschlam@campjudaea.org.
