We envision improving the lives of every Jewish individual and family in Colorado.
We plan to become the single largest hub for community service projects in the Colorado Jewish community and impact the lives of over 100,000 Jewish Coloradans annually.
I'm so happy we're able to do this again! And so grateful that you're organizing it again.
Thanks,
Leba Hirsch
