We did it! Thank you to the 1,000+ volunteers and 1,600+ donors who collectively raised nearly $1.1 million at Super Sunday – Jewish Cleveland's single largest one-day giveathon of the year!

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland raised $1,097,191 in support of its 2017 Campaign for Jewish Needs on Super Sunday Sept. 25 at the Federation’s Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Building in Beachwood.

“The train arriving in a place like this is a game changer.”

Shari Perlmuter grew up in Jewish Cleveland and has spent a lifetime not only giving her time and money to the Jewish Federation of Cleveland but her heart as well. In recognition of that lifelong commitment and passion for the Federation and the Jewish community, Shari is receiving this year’s Ruby Bass Award. Shari hopes her legacy of tikkun olam (repairing the world) lives on for years to come.

Both Kerry and Daryl Kertesz have been involved with the Federation for most of their lives. This year, Super Sunday will be unforgettable as they will be co-chairing the event supporting the annual Campaign for Jewish Needs.

“If Federation wasn’t there helping my family, I wouldn’t be who I am and where I am today.”

An evening of togetherness, laughter…and food!

It will be a memorable day for Sarah and Scott Zimmerman, co-chairs of this year’s Super Sunday. They will be able to spend the event with their son, Marc, who will be making his debut at the Campaign for Jewish Needs event on September 25.

There are well over 200,000 active donor advised funds in the United States, and they are an increasingly popular way for individuals and families to manage their charitable giving.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland is proud to announce that Reneé Chelm of Pepper Pike was honored yesterday by The Jewish Federations of North America’s National Women’s Philanthropy with its prestigious Kipnis-Wilson/Friedland Award.
