Why Give?

As BBYO continues to take strides toward meeting the challenges facing Jewish teens today, community support and resources are increasingly needed to continue delivering the type of quality programming for which BBYO is renowned. BBYO is the most cost-effective and affordable Jewish youth experience in North America. This is in large part because BBYO is subsidized by philanthropists and other organizations who understand the value of a youth group experience. Unfortunately, in 2008, one of BBYO’s largest sources of income, B’nai B’rith International, after 75 years, ended its financial support of the organization.

This has left the organization with a serious financial challenge. To replace the $1,000,000 that B’nai B’rith has cut from BBYO over the last two years, BBYO’s Friends & Alumni Network is raising money to support BBYO programs in local communities. We are asking parents, alumni and all those who understand the importance of reaching Jewish teens with meaningful Jewish experiences to join us in supporting BBYO. Any size gift that you make to BBYO will make a difference in our efforts to reach Jewish teens. If you are interested in contributing to BBYO on any level, please contact Lander Gold, Friends & Alumni Network Associate, or Give Now.
