JCCH MITAVAH DAY
Sunday, April 23, 2023
The JCC of Harrison will hold the Eighth JCCH Mitzvah Day. While we have just begun to plan, the day already promises to hold a rewarding combination of hands-on activities and interactive experiences for all ages. We hope very much that ALL of our members can “do good, feel good” by helping those in need across our community.

Each $100 sponsorship will help to cover the costs of producing this event, making it possible for more of our budget to go directly to our beneficiaries, rather than expenses. (Please note, sponsorship donations will not cover Mitzvah Day registration fees.)
