Support JFilm tomorrow through Pittsburgh is Art Day of Giving

Wednesday, May 11th is the Pittsburgh is Art Day of Giving for area arts and cultural organizations.  Any donation over $15 made at http://www.pittsburghgives.org/ will be partially matched, thanks to a $475,000 matching fund, from The Heinz Endowments, The Pittsburgh Foundation, The Hillman Foundation, The Benedum Foundation, The Buhl Foundation and The Grable Foundation. Last October, JFilm was able to raise an extra $2,000 from The Pittsburgh Foundation’s Day of Giving open to all area non-profits.

 Donate to JFilm: the Pittsburgh Jewish Film Forum tomorrow, Wednesday May 11 through the secure Pittsburgh Gives web site and help support year round programming for teens and young adults. 

You can help support the following programs:
Teen Screen offers free film screenings for area schools. Over 15,000 students have participated in this program since it started in 2005.
Reel-to-Real: Generation to Generation brings teens and older adults together to watch and discuss films at senior-living facilities.
The Red String Film Series presents film programs for 21 to 35-year-olds.

Donations in any amount are appreciated!

· $250 helps to pay for a reception for young adults following a “Red String Film Series” event

· $500 supports one “Reel to Real: Generation to Generation” program where teens and seniors watch a film together at an assisted living facility

· $750 covers one screening for school groups at our “Teen Screen” program
