CINCINNATI, Dec. 30, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Saul Schottenstein Foundation B, Jonathan L. Harris Memorial Philanthropic Fund, and Susan and Jeffrey P. Harris Family Foundation have made a grant to Foundation for Jewish Camp in support of its overnight camp movement.
Begun in 1998, Foundation for Jewish Camp ("FJC") is a public foundation dedicated solely to the Jewish overnight camp movement. FJC serves approximately 150 Jewish summer camps, 70,000 campers and 10,000 counselors in North America. It is the single source for information about, and advocacy for, nonprofit Jewish overnight camps, and provides leadership, expertise and financial resources to camps, campers and their families across North America. Jeffrey P. Harris, Saul Schottenstein's nephew and a trustee of all of the foundations, believes the contribution furthers the foundations' mission to partner with organizations that foster human acceptance, organic oneness of life, and helping people experience their common humanity. The grant is in memory of the life of Albert Fingerman.
