Who Benefits from Sponsorships? Last year, the JCC gave out $182,000 in scholarships to ensure that every family in our community has access to a variety of programs and services such as camping, preschool, early childhood and after school services and transportation for working parents. Because summer camp is a component of child care for working parents, in 2007 the JCC provided $81,000 in scholarships for day and resident campers.

Our membership department helped families with $50,000 in scholarships so that they could share the health benefits of swimming and sports and the help of after school care.

$36,000 in scholarships went to help young families with needs for childcare.

We offered $15,000 in scholarships for children & adults with special needs.

Your Sponsorship will directly impact the programming and services mentioned above and will provide the needed funds for all families, children, seniors, as well as Adults with Special Needs.
