DID YOU KNOW? THE J attracts a diverse audience from throughout the entire community for festivals, classes, leagues, concerts, shows, educational programs, speakers, cultural events and more on a regular basis. In fact, when you add the MJCCA's year-round attendance figures, turnstile counts, recurring visitors, national and international guests, and subscribers it adds up to nearly three million touches per year. THE J:

• distributes hundreds of thousands of scholarship dollars annually to those in need.

• offers extraordinary programs for individuals with developmental disabilities.

• runs the nationally recognized

• manages HouseMate Match and Home But Not Alone (which recently won one of the nation's most prestigious awards for non-profits given annually by Mutual of America).

• And provides many more outreach programs throughout our community.
