FUNDRAISE

The Walk with Israel is one of our community’s biggest fundraisers for the people of Israel.

As Israelis continue to endure rocket fire and the ongoing toll of war, our fundraising helps meet urgent needs, so that they can focus on recovery and rebuilding.

Our fundraising goal of $780,000 represents the 78 years Israel has been an official state—a celebration of resilience, continuity, and a message to Israelis that we stand with them.
