Community Fundraising Spotlights

We are pleased to share the news that IRIS (Integrated Refugee and Immigration Services) presented the first Golden Door Leadership Award to JCARR at a recent event.  JCARR was selected as the first honoree because we were the first group to form a coalition (in response to the Syrian refugee crisis in 2015); we were the first group to receive a family as a co-sponsor of IRIS; we have strong leadership; and we have worked in full partnership with IRIS, through many crises over the last 9 years, and have always taken the approach of asking, “How can we help?”

JCARR’s founding Coordinator Jean Silk holds the award.  CBJ members Sheldon Natkin and Kate Ezra are on the right.
