Volunteers to Bring Cell Phones For First-Ever Wireless Super Sunday

Join hundreds of volunteers and bring your cell phone to make the call that’s timeless! We live in a fast-paced, modern world, but coming together to help our Jewish community is a tradition that has lasted through the ages. This year’s Super Sunday phonathon, taking place on March 18, will be a fun-filled day, featuring blast-from-the-past music and entertainment alongside modern communication methods, including social media and texting. Volunteers are strongly encouraged to bring their cell phones and chargers for the phonathon.

All of the money raised on Super Sunday will support the 2012 Greater Miami Jewish Federation/UJA Campaign, which helps provide a vital lifeline of programs and services for Jewish people in need in Miami, in Israel and more than 70 other countries around the world. Every donor makes a difference – no matter what age, no matter what amount given.

In addition to supporting the Annual Campaign, volunteers can raise money for local Federation-funded agencies, synagogues and day schools by signing up for the Super Sunday incentive program. Any Miami-Dade County synagogue or any agency or day school that receives an allocation from the Federation/UJA Campaign can receive 50 percent of any eligible gift raised by that agency’s representatives on Super Sunday. The organization with the most pre-registered volunteers to attend Super Sunday also will receive an additional $1,000 – so participants help their organizations just by being there.

A highlight of Super Sunday this year will be the Miami-Dade County senior citizens’ Senior Prom, taking place from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and organized by the Mitzvah Miami program of the Jewish Volunteer Center. Service hours will be available to teen volunteers, who will be serving the seniors dinner, dancing with them, and helping to make the evening special and memorable. To sign up as a teen volunteer, please contact Lori Drutz, Director of the Jewish Volunteer Center at [email protected] or 786.866.8414

As of January 27, 2012, Mark Kravitz, Chair of Super Sunday, is joined by Recruitment Co-Chairs Sarah Burstein and Lindsay Sasha David; Training Chair Steven Scheck; Hospitality Co-Chairs Howard Chafetz and Jonathan Kravitz; Youth Activities Co-Chairs Lisa Feldman and Judy Rosensweig Kapiloff and Members-at-Large Lisa Goldstein and Annie Lefton Migdal.
