Sunday, March 9: A SUPER Day for Giving of All Kinds

Super Sunday, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation’s largest annual community-wide fundraising phonathon, has traditionally been a day of giving, as volunteer callers reach out to members of Miami’s Jewish community to ask for support of the Annual Federation/UJA Campaign. This year’s event, chaired by the Halberstein Family on Sunday, March 9, will provide additional meaning for participants through hands-on volunteer activities coordinated by Federation’s Jewish Volunteer Center as part of Good Deeds Day.

Created by philanthropist Shari Arison, Good Deeds Day is an annual global celebration, where hundreds of thousands of people worldwide join together to do good deeds for the benefit of others and the planet.

More than 1,000 volunteers are expected to converge on Federation headquarters from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. to make phone calls, help package 30,000 macaroni and cheese meals, and to embark on hands-on volunteer activities that include delivering food packages, visiting the elderly, helping the homeless, sprucing up local neighborhoods and much more. The purpose of all of this: to expand the circles of good in the world.

Super Sunday is not just a day-long phonathon; it is also a marathon of good deeds that build Jewish community, help those in need and strengthen Jewish life in Miami, in Israel and worldwide 365 days a year through Federation programs and services.

Cynthia Stein and Keith Ginsburg, Miami Beach and South Dade Vice Chairs, respectively, are also helping to ensure Super Sunday includes participants from all parts of Miami-Dade County.  Shana Lewinger Russo is Chair of the Jewish Volunteer Center.  

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation’s Stanley C. Myers Building is located at 4200 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami. Pre-registration for Super Sunday and Good Deeds Day is now closed, however walk-ins are very welcome. If you can’t join us in person, please answer the call on Super Sunday and give as generously as you can. If you would like to make a gift online now, please click here.
