Dear CBI Family and Friends,

As with Jewish communities around the world, the last 8 weeks have been among the most
challenging our community has lived through in recent memory. We have found strength
by uniting in tefilah, study, and pro-Israel activism, from participating at the local level in
the East Bay and San Francisco, through having a CBI delegation attend the historic pro-
Israel rally in D.C. to demand that the Hamas-held hostages by freed.
Now more than ever, we need your continued generosity and support in meeting our 2024
Phone-a-thon goal of $45,000. The Phone-a-thon is one of our main fundraisers that we
count on for needed revenue during the fiscal year.
If you want to have this donation credited to your 2023 tax return, please consider making
your donation before the end of December. Donors will be recognized for their support in
five categories, according to their level of giving:

$18 – $179: Supporters
$180 – $499: Guardians
$500 – $999: Sustainers
$1,000 – $1,999: Pillars
$2000 – $4,999: Innovators
$5000+: Visionaries

You can make your donation in one of five ways:
•    Donate online above (by credit card, convenience fee applied).
