The Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston expects to raise more than $5,500,000 in its 1962 Appeal, David Kane, general chairman of the campaign told some 450 campaign leaders and workers at the Campaign Awards Dinner at the Sidney Hill Country Club last night.
He announced that $5,445,130 has already been raised to date, compared to last year’s total of $5,179,000. “However, we still have hundreds of contributors who have not yet made their gifts and we are confident that these pledges will enable us to set the best campaign record since 1957,” Mr. Kane said. He was presented with a silver Menorah in honor of his “outstanding leadership” by Louis P. Smith, president of the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston.
