From the Leadership Team
Hi! My name is Anna Wynne and I am one of the Juniors Unit Heads for Camp Jenny 2019: A Whole New World! I am from Marietta, Georgia and am currently serving as one of NFTY-SAR’s Camp Jenny co-fundraising chairs! I have raised $2,810 so far this year for Camp Jenny! This will be my 3rd Camp Jenny and I cannot wait to lead the best unit ever! It has been amazing to be part of the planning process for CJ and to be able to work with the most incredible teams of counselors! I cannot wait to see Camp Jenny 2019 in action!
Hi everyone! My name is Jacob Wall and I am the male Juniors Unit Head for Camp Jenny 2019: A Whole New World! I am also serving as the fundraising chair for NFTY-STR. I am a Junior from BIFTY in Clearwater, Florida. This will be my third year coming to Camp Jenny and I am as excited as ever! Because of the amazing team of counselors, senior counselors, my co-unit head, adult staff and more that I have had the pleasure of working with, I know this will be the best Camp Jenny yet! Get ready for an amazing weekend everyone, only a couple more months till we all experience the most magical weekend of the year!
Fundraising News
We are so impressed with the Camp Jenny community's fundraising this year! Our first annual Day of Giving was a huge success - in just 24 hours we raised $18,461 from over 300 donors! Thank you to all of you who helped us reach our goal for the day - to celebrate we will again be buying BLIZZARDS for the entire Camp Jenny community during CJ 2019!
Fundraising Tips
Tip of the week - make sure to THANK everyone who donates to your page:
Thank them on Facebook and tag them - it'll make them feel good about their contribution AND put a little pressure on your other friends and family that haven't given yet.
Plan to send handwritten notes either now or right after Camp Jenny happens. This is an essential thing to do, especially if you want to be able to ask your network for fundraising help in the future, whether it's for Camp Jenny or for other causes you care about.
Have you met your goal? Consider raising it to encourage others to continue to donate on your behalf!
