Double Your Impact When You Donate to Roots & Rafters Roots & Rafters, the Schnitzer Family Campus campaign to invest $3.5 million dollars in the physical plant for Mittleman Jewish Community Center and Portland Jewish Academy, continues as we pass the $2.9 million mark. The Roots & Rafters campaign started in 2013 to complete the renovations and repairs that had been delayed when the recession hit at the end of the previous capital campaign.

The Roots & Rafters Campaign has enabled us to make many upgrades so far.

Here’s what we are still working on...

• Parking lot repairs • Roof repairs • Upgrade our energy managment system to save energy and money

We hope you’ve been able to enjoy these Roots & Rafters upgrades: • New carpet and paint in the therapy pool lobby • New hardware and fixtures in the therapy pool locker rooms • Additional AED on the lower level of campus • Automated eucalyptus infuser in the women’s steam room • New exterior therapy pool deck door • Gymnasium curtain divider • Gaga pit and picnic tables • Selectorized fitness equipment and cycle bikes • More secure bike rack • New therapy pool HVAC unit • New energy efficient lighting in the Sportsplex

SUPPORT

• Upgraded our security system

18

The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation made a challenge grant of $500,000 to help us raise the last million dollars. That means that we only need to raise $250,000 more to complete the campaign with every dollar committed now being matched. Anyone interested in learning more or contributing to the Roots & Rafters campaign can visit the website at www.rootsandrafters.org or contact Steve Albert, Executive Director at 503.535.3592 or salbert@oregonjcc.org.
