Invest-in-a-Student Campaign
 
June 2010/Tamuz 5770


Dear Colleague,

About one year ago we wrote to you with our first update on the progress of the Rabbinic Alumni Association "Invest-in-a-Student" Campaign. Our goals were (and still are) to dramatically increase the number of rabbis who give to support HUC, to have rabbis who were ordained together join in supporting rabbinic students and to raise one million dollars in new scholarships. We are thrilled to share our success to date! Thus far about 550 rabbinic alumni have pledged almost $850,000. We need to raise only an additional $150,000 to meet our financial goal.

Our thanks to all who have already given! If you have not yet pledged, please lend your support as we make our final push to finish our campaign.

What is the campaign all about?
The goal is for every ordination class to "adopt" a rabbinic student, funding most of the tuition for his/her 5 years at HUC. This gift will not only help our future colleagues, many of whom are reaching ordination with over $100,000 in student loans, but will free up funds for other uses by HUC during these challenging financial times.

How is this campaign being organized?
The project is supported by a minyan of "five-year captains" who have recruited 'class captains". Our class captains then reach out to their classmates and invite them to contribute to this grassroots project. We offer a sincere thanks to our "five-year captains", who are:
Marty Weiner 1960 - 1964 Jeff Sirkman 1985 - 1989
Sam Stahl 1965 - 1969 Nancy Kasten 1990 - 1994
Bennett Miller 1970 - 1974 Daniel Gropper 1995 - 1999
Steve Mason 1975 - 1979 Marcus Burstein 2000 - 2004
Scott Shpeen 1980 - 1984 Alissa Forrest 2005 - 2008
Our heartfelt thanks to the dozens of "class captains" who have taken on this important work. We look forward to recognizing their efforts in the near future. If your "class captain" has not been in touch you, please call or email us and we will get the pledge information to you.

Why does your participation matter?
Alumni support of HUC sends a strong message to donors that there is widespread support of the College-Institute by those who were trained there. It is not only the amount raised, but also the percentages of alumni who give that signals alumni commitment! Your gift truly does make a difference.

How much to give?
If every colleague gave equally, the annual gift we ask for would average about $400 for each of the next 5 years. Many colleagues have, either through discretionary funds or personal gifts, been able to give substantially more. Others are facing their own challenges in these difficult times and have given more modest amounts. Please know that whatever size gift you give is important ... and will be gratefully received. But please give!

To pledge or make a gift now
To make a gift and a multi-year pledge, please email Joy Wasserman, National Director of Alumni Affairs jwasserman@huc.edu. If you are ready to make a one time gift please make your check payable to HUC-JIR, write "Invest-in-a-Student" on the memo line and mail your check to the Development Office, HUC-JIR, 3101 Clifton Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45220.

If your name is missing from the list below
If you sent a gift or pledged before June 6th and your name is not found below please email Joy Wasserman, National Director of Alumni Affairs jwasserman@huc.edu.

Our thanks for your support, concern, and commitment. We hope to update you one more time...when we hit our goal of one million dollars!

B'yididut,
