Camp JRF Meets Challenge and Receives Matching Funds Dollar-for-Dollar

Rabbi Jeffrey Eisenstat, director of Camp JRF, and David Nerenberg, president of the Reconstructionist Camping Corporation, announced on October 1st that Camp JRF met the "Ultimate Match Challenge" raising $300,000 by the September 30, 2007 deadline. The Challenge was initiated by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation of Springfield, MA. Upon meeting the Challenge, the Harold Grinspoon Foundation awarded Camp JRF a bonus check in the amount of $10,000. In addition, an anonymous donor, who established a $100,000 Incentive Challenge this summer to increase the match to nearly dollar-for-dollar, is shortly awarding that gift to Camp JRF. The funds raised through this Challenge were effectively doubled.

Kudos to all the donors and Camp JRF leadership for helping to meet the Challenge.
