Members of the Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center’s Children’s Auction Committee will be selling chocolate bars on Sunday to fund scholarships to Camp Kehilla, the JCC’s camp for special-needs children.
The fundraiser will take place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the JCC, and is among several fundraisers the committee, led by Harbor Hill Elementary School student Adam Liebowitz, has conducted in advance of the center’s 20th annual “Auction for Excellence, An Epicurean Event” on March 19 at the Glen Oaks Club.
“Auction for Excellence, An Epicurean Event” is one of the largest annual fundraising events for JCC programs.
The Children’s Auction Committee has held bake sales and other peer-to-peer fundraising programs in addition to collecting approximately 400 toys that will be auctioned off during the event.
Liebowitz, 10, is the youngest person to chair a Sid Jacobson committee. Last year, he helped collect more than 100 new toys and approximately $4,000 for donation to the “Auction for Excellence.”
In November, the committee held its first meeting for new members to brainstorm fundraising ideas for the event.
