Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta Raises $7M

The Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta in Dunwoody announced the end of its Framework for the Future capital campaign after raising $7 million.

“For more than two years, our team has worked closely to plan and conduct our Framework for the Future capital campaign,” Ron Brill, chair of the MJCCA’s capital campaign said in a news release.

The money will be used to enhance and renovate the facilities at its Dunwoody Zaban Park campus and the organization’s overnight summer camp, Camp Barney Medintz, in Cleveland, GA.

Some of the money has already been used to invest in new classrooms at The Weinstein School, the MJCCA’s NAEYCE-accredited preschool, as well as in technology for the Zaban building.

“It is a testament to the deep commitment our community has for our agency that we have been able to raise this extraordinary amount of money,” Gail Luxenburg, CEO of the MJCCA said in the news release. “Sustaining our property through augmentation and growth is vital to the continuity of the Jewish Community in Atlanta.”
