Jewish Long Beach Hosted 36-Hour Fund Drive Raising Over $300k

June 23 and 24 marked the second annual "36 Hours of Jewish Long Beach and the Alpert JCC,” a multimedia fundraising drive and celebration of Jewish Long Beach’s impact on the Long Beach and West Orange County communities. During the 36 hours, all gifts up to a total of $100,000 was matched by a group of remarkable supporters, producing the potential for a $200,000 total impact. Donors went Above and Beyond, raising $219,645 before the match was applied for a grand total of $319,645.

Jewish Long Beach is grateful to its matching supporters, Amy and Rich Lipeles, Bernard Natelson and Lisa Raufman-Natelson, Richard Wolpow, and Barry and Rita Zamost.

Jewish Long Beach serves the Jewish and broader communities through strategic grant-making, development of emerging leaders, advocacy, and management of the community’s philanthropic funds. The organization awards over $500,000 in grants annually to nonprofit organizations throughout Long Beach and West Orange County. It also manages approximately $30 million in assets and owns and operates the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Jewish Long Beach Campus, which houses the Alpert Jewish Community Center and other independent Jewishly-focused community organizations.
