50th Anniversary Gala Dinner/Auction Party
50th Gala auction results + MORE opportunities to support CBH!
On Sunday May 20, 2012, 260+ Bet Haverim partners, friends & family came together to celebrate 50 years together as a community, & honored one of our most beloved volunteers, Candace Naliboff, with the Founders’ Spirit Award.
The latest news is that all of our kvelling also raised $27,000 net! Todah Rabah to all!
As awesome as that it, wouldn’t be great to round that figure up to $30,000, to provide that much more additional operational support for our spiritual home, the center of Jewish life in Davis?
You can help by considering making a BUY NOW purchase of these auction items, below, that remain from the Gala. To purchase, please contact Cathy in the CBH office at 758-0842 or office@bethaverim.org; you can even charge by phone.
