Beth Israel has reached a milestone! We have been on our beautiful campus for 18 (chai) years. On Saturday evening, June 6, 2020, we will celebrate this significant anniversary at our annual fundraiser, ChaiVana Nights.

We are requesting that you join us as an auction donor by providing a gift certificate, experience, or item of your choosing. Your extraordinary generosity is a vital part of this effort. Proceeds from the evening will benefit Beth Israel’s mission to create a warm welcome and nurturing home to all who seek a meaningful connection to Judaism and help us to raise much-needed funds for Beth Israel schools, programs and services. A list of sponsorship benefits is included in this letter for your review. In exchange for your generous donation, we will acknowledge your organization’s contribution in event-related materials. This is a great way to continue the already strong relationship our two organizations have.

As you may know, founded in 1861, Beth Israel is the oldest synagogue in the San Diego community with a dynamic congregation of over 1,100 families. Many of our members have deep roots in San Diego and play vital roles in business, finance, real estate, academia and the arts. Countless knowledgeable and committed members are active and influential in a variety of local civic organizations.

I hope you will extend your generosity as we commemorate this milestone birthday. Enclosed for your convenience is a procurement form, along with a pre-addressed return envelope. Our tax id # is 95-1660341. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. We would greatly appreciate hearing from you by May 1.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this opportunity, please contact our Development Director Meg Mandel at mmandel@cbisd.org or 858-900-2585. Thank you in advance for your support.
