Everything wc have done will The Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte Board of Directors led the charge and pulled the community together in the final hours of the 2011 Annual Campaign. We not only reached the Annual Campaign goal of $2,950,000 but surpassed it. Upon reaching the goal, The Leon Levine Foundation donat ed an additional $50,000 bring ing the Annual Campaign total to $3,014,453. We thank all of our donors for their generous sup port which enabled the Annual Campaign to reach the $3,000,000 mark for the first time since 2008. Some campaign highlights include: * 6 new Major Donor house holds (gifts of $10,000+) * 9 new Lions of Judah (gifts to women’s philanthropy of $5,000+) * 34 Pomegranate Society members (new initiative for women giving at or above the $1800 level) * 6 new Ben-Gurion Society members (young adults giving at or above $1,000) * Main Event had the largest attendance and highest amount pledged since 2007 * Women’s Spring Lecture had the highest attendance in history and cultivated 61 new gifts * 16 Charlotte young adults attended JFNA’s TribeFest, a national outreach and engage ment initiative The Annual Campaign raises money to meet the needs of our beneficiaries at home, in Israel and in 70 countries around the world. Annual 'Campaign dol lars are allocated for Jewish edu cation, social services, Jewish identity and community devel opment. An additional $118,987 was raised in Supplemental Giving, which provides customised giv ing opportunities over and above Annual Campaign to enable donors to maximize their giving potential and fulfill their philan thropic goals. Supplemental Gifts underwrite specific pro- grarfis and therefore do not represent allocable dollars. In 2011, supplemental gifts which fall under this category were used to underwrite a Birthright Israel Community Bus, the Bernstein Leadership Group, Community Planning Initiative, Levine Challenge Grant, Teen Israel Experience Scholarships, Annual Spring Lecture Sponsorships, JDC/FSU Welfare, JAFI La’ad (Forever) Program, Donations to Israel, Viva Klezmer, and Tikvah Charlotte. The total Annual Giving for 2011 is $3,133,440 which includes the Annual Campaign and Supplemental Gifts. We thank all of our donors, campaign cabinet members and solicitors for their generous financial support and for their gift of time during the 2011 Campaign. ^ Alison Lerner receives Bernstein Young Leadership Award ^ stick with me for the rest of my ^ life. Getting the chance to see ^ sites like the Western Wall and ^ visiting the Dead Sea was very ^ surreal. You dream about one ^ day going to those places, but actually being there was an unbe lievable experience. Your soul feels so rich; the feeling is really one of a kind. When it was time to say our goodbyes, and leave the country that has been our home for the past two weeks, I couldn’t believe that it was Shabbat and Holiday Candle Lighting for October 2011 Friday, October 7, 6:42 PM Sukkot Eve, October 12, 6:35 PM 2nd night Sukkot, October 13, after 7:29 PM Friday, October 14, 6:32 PM Shemini Atzeret, October 19, 6:26 PM Sinichat Torah, October 20, after 7:21 PM Friday, October 21, 6:23 PM Friday, October 28, 6:15 PM already over. Even though it was an emotionally draining day, the only thing that was keeping a smile on my face was: knowing that my new best friends were coming to my home in two short days. Spending another two weeks in Charlotte with Leehe, Tamar, Tom Cohen, Manor, Rivi, Robi, and Tom Reichbuch along with the Americans was incredi ble. Showing them around our city was really fun, because you get to show them your home and what makes Charlotte such a great place. The friendships I have built and the connections I have made will continue to be strong as we move forward with our lives. I strongly recommend this trip for anyone who is inter ested. -Leah Weinstein ^ At the Federation’s Annual Meeting on May 16, Alison Lerner received the 2011 Bernstein Young Leadership Award.
