 Super Sunday chairs Hava & Adam Holzhauer and Larry & Debra Halperin with Elizabeth Holzhauer, 9; Solomon Holzhauer, 5; Ari Holzhauer, 11; Caleb Holzhauer, 7; and Scott Halperin, 15, celebrate the day's total.
The Call to Serve was heard loud & clear and answered resoundingly in South Palm Beach County on Super Sunday 2010, March 14th.  The vibrant diversity and generosity of the local Jewish community were at their finest as 300 volunteers of all ages kept the phones busy and the energy high all day in Zinman Hall. Volunteers also participated in a variety of hands-on helping activities on the Federation campus.
 
This year’s telephone calls were met with an overwhelming outpouring of community support. Local residents expressed their awareness and compassion, and pledged their commitments to help the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County meet escalating vital needs amid continued economic challenges. Pledges from many who had not felt able to contribute last year boosted spirits with a great sense of optimism about what the community can accomplish together.

At last count, the total had risen to $668,590, far exceeding the 2009 sum. With pledges still coming in and even more calls to make in the coming days – look for an updated figure shortly!

Co-chaired by Debra & Larry Halperin and Hava & Adam Holzhauer, Super Sunday 2010 was generously sponsored by Whitsyms Nursing Registry. Many local establishments contributed raffle prizes for the volunteers. Supporters also sponsored telephones in memory of Gloria Baker, to whom this Super Sunday was dedicated.

It's not too late to make calls or your own contribution! Call 561-852-3100, or email SuperS@bocafed.org.
