Annual Fundraising Campaign
70 years of worship. 70 years of Jewish education. 70 years of egalitarian Jewish community.
This year, the LJCC turns 70!
In honor of our founding in 1954, we are launching a matching gift campaign with the aim to raise $19,540! If each one of our member households contributes just $245, we can meet that goal. This matching gift campaign will ensure the ongoing vitality of our recent programming and our continued growth as the inclusive and pluralistic home for Jews and their Jewish-adjacent loved ones in Lawrence, Kansas.
Donate today to have your gift doubled by our matching donor!

With great thanks to our matching donor Suzanne Sherr, who invites you to join her in making a donation in honor of her late husband, Larry Sherr.
A note from Suzanne:
My donation is in memory and in honor of my husband, Larry Sherr. I am able to do this because of his 33 years as a Business School professor at KU. Larry served as LJCC president three times - till he said Dayanu - and as Treasurer many more times than that! Larry and I raised our children in this community, as did several congregants still among us. From these little children came awesome adults. Our community values absorbed and lived. The best of reasons for keeping the LJCC thriving. L’dor V’dor.
