4th Annual Purim Party with a Purpose

Join in the fun on March 8th for two great causes!

February 26, 2015
East Meadow Jewish Center’s Sisterhood and Young Adult Division (YAD), 1400 Prospect Avenue, invites you to the 4th annual Purim Party with a PURPOSE on Sunday, March 8th from 10am to 12pm. The Purim event is geared toward children under 5 years old. Popular performers Darlene Graham, Clowns.com/Professional Kids Entertainment, and others, are generously donating their time and talents. There will be arts & crafts, face-painting, silent auction, raffles and more. All proceeds raised will go to worthy causes identified by two local families who suffered the unimaginable loss of a child. Proceeds in memory of Adam Lefkowitz will go to a Foundation created by his family for Degos awareness and research, in addition to assisting the family directly.
Proceeds in Memory of Zachary Merlin will go to Angela's House, a local agency providing intensive services to medically fragile children so that they can remain at home or in a home-like setting. Minimum donation of $20/family can be pre-paid or paid at the door – and contributions would be greatly appreciated from those who cannot attend (Make checks payable to: East Meadow Jewish Center, Memo: ‘Purim with a Purpose’).
