Tribute Program
Our tribute card program honors a selection of local Jewish artists who have made a significant contribution to cultural arts in the Jewish community. For an $18 donation, this program gives you the opportunity to honor someone’s special occasion with a card featuring a local Jewish artist and a donation that supports a variety of JCC program areas.
We greatly appreciate your support in helping the JCC grow stronger as a thriving community center. Todah Rabah (Thank You) for allowing us to continue to provide a welcoming home that enriches the lives of thousands of people in our community.
Here are the following card options:
