Thanks!
With
this web page, Camp Ramah in California wishes to thank all whose philanthropic
gifts have helped our facilities and programming remain on the cutting edge of
the Jewish camping world - from the families who have been long-time supporters
to the most recent, brand-new donors. Click here to view our 2006 Annual Tzedakah Report.
Fundraising for Camp Ramah in California has several components:
- Support
for the Scholarship Fund begins each fall, with opportunities to give included
in each camper application, and continues until all requests for financial
assistance have been reviewed, just prior to the start of camp each summer. Your
contribution to the Fund ensures that a dynamic Jewish
learning and cultural experience is available each summer to all children in
need. Click here to make a gift to the Scholarship
Fund.

We seek support for camp's general operations and programs via gifts to the Camp Ramah Fund all through the year. Staff in the Los Angeles office work year-round, facilitating enrollment for each summer as well as planning many special programs at camp - Winter Camp, Passover Institute, Family Camp - to mention just a few! Similarly, a small group of dedicated staff members remain in Ojai all year, maintaining the camp facilities and managing those special programs. Click here to make a gift to the Camp Ramah Fund.

Each year, those being honored at the gala Winter Event have the opportunity to ask their friends and colleagues to direct their gifts to a specific need at camp. The Barnhard Mador Young Leadership Endowment, the Tikvah Program Endowment, and the Scholarship Endowment Fund all have grown thanks to such generosity. The 2007 Winter Event took place on December 6th at Sinai Temple, honroing Sheila and Aaron Leibovic for their efforts on behalf of Camp Ramah and the Los Angeles Jewish community. The Leibovic family requested that gifts made in their honor be directed towards the construction of a second swimming pool, with water slides. Thanks to the generosity of the Leibovics, their family, friends, and members of the Ramah community, the goal of raising $500,000 for the pool and water slides was not only met, but exceeded!

- The 2006 Winter Event was the fabulous 50th Anniversary Celebration held on December 3rd, 2006 at camp. The honorees, Camp Ramah in California's distinguished directors over our first 50 years, asked that gifts made in their honor be directed to help the camp continue to remain affordable for the entire Jewish community, offering excellence in programming in the best facility possible, for the next 50 years and beyond.

- Each year, many supporters of Camp Ramah make contributions in honor or memory of family and friends. Consider celebrating a simcha such as an anniversary, birth, birthday, bar or bat mitzvah, new home or new job, or remembering yours or a friend's loved one through our Tribute Gifts.
