Fundraisers

Con­gre­ga­tion Aha­vath Sholom holds a vari­ety of ongo­ing and peri­odic fundrais­ers through­out the year.

Cur­rent ongo­ing fundrais­ing projects:

• Sukkah Pavil­ion Donor Gar­den — You can spon­sor a brick or tile in the floor of our beau­ti­ful out­door Sukkah Pavil­ion near the entrance to the CAS Reli­gious School. List your own name, or name a brick or tile in mem­ory of or in honor of some­one spe­cial. Bricks (4“x8”) are $100. Tiles range from 6“x6” tiles for $250 to 12“x12” tiles for $1000. To learn more, please talk to Mar­vin Beleck, Sukkah Pavil­ion Com­mit­tee Chair, or to Garry Kahal­nik, Exec­u­tive Director.

• Till 120 & Beyond Cam­paign — Con­gre­ga­tion Aha­vath Sholom will be 120 years old in 2012. In recog­ni­tion of this mile­stone, many com­mu­nity mem­bers have cho­sen to make an ongo­ing monthly con­tri­bu­tion over and above their annual dues until Rosh Hashanah in 2012. Your ongo­ing dona­tion is billed directly to your credit or debit card. To learn more, please talk to Garry Kahal­nik, Exec­u­tive Director.

• Kid­dush Spon­sor­ships — Our weekly kid­dush lunch catered by our kosher kitchen is a pri­or­ity of the con­gre­ga­tion. In order for it to con­tinue, spon­sors con­tribute $100 or more toward the cost of the lunch. For $500 or more, you can spon­sor the entire lunch for the week. To learn more, please talk to Elsie Blum, head of the Cater­ing Committee.

• Flower Fund — Donors con­tribute $50 or more to the Flower Fund to spon­sor the flow­ers for the weekly Shab­bat ser­vice. To learn more, please talk to JoAnn Eng­lish in the Shul Office.

Peri­odic fundrais­ers include com­mu­nity din­ners, vis­it­ing speak­ers, and Bingo nights.

Onsite events catered by our kosher kitchen (wed­ding recep­tions, Bar or Bat Mitz­vah din­ners, school grad­u­a­tions, and busi­ness lunches) are also impor­tant fundrais­ers for us.
