Purim Party with a Purpose to be Held in Honor and in Memory of Tiny Superheroes

EMJC’s Young Adult Division (YAD) and Sisterhood, 1400 Prospect Avenue, invite you to the 5th annual Purim Party with a PURPOSE on Sunday, March 20th from 10am to 12pm.

The Purim event is geared toward children under 5 years old. Popular performers Darlene Graham, Clowns.com/Professional Kids Entertainment, Zumba by Tracy Ellis, and others, are generously donating their time and talents. There will be arts & crafts, face-painting, silent auction, raffles, vendors: RS Dubs Ribbons, Younique, Sprinkles & Sparkles Apparel, Perfectly Posh, Stella & Dot, and more.

All proceeds raised will go to worthy causes identified by three local families. Proceeds in memory of Adam Lefkowitz will go to a The Steffens Foundation for Degos awareness and research. Proceeds in Memory of Zachary Merlin will go to Angela’s House, a local agency providing intensive services to medically fragile children so that they can remain at home or in a home-like setting. Both boys were from North Bellmore. Proceeds in Honor of Zachary Goldminz, the 8 year old nephew of East Meadow residents who is undergoing treatment for Ewing’s Sarcoma, will go to 1 Million 4 Anna, an organization whose mission is to eradicate Ewing’s Sarcoma and support youth and families impacted by the disease.

Minimum donation of $20/family can be pre-paid or paid at the door – and contributions would be greatly appreciated from those who cannot attend (Make checks payable to: East Meadow Jewish Center, Memo: ‘Purim with a Purpose’).
