New York, NY, March 12, 2019�Chai Lifeline, the international children�s health support network, will launch a 48-hour �Join the Fight� campaign March 12 at noon EST. In the last year, Chai Lifeline provided critical support to more children with life-threatening and lifelong illnesses than ever before�a 15% year-over-year increase. This campaign will help Chai Lifeline meet the rapidly-growing need for its essential services in the community.
�Our goal is to raise at least $3 million, but more importantly, we want to enlist an �army of 18,000 supporters� from across the globe to help in this effort,� said Rabbi Simcha Scholar, CEO of Chai Lifeline. �For more than 30 years, Chai Lifeline has always been there for the most vulnerable children and families in our community. Now, we�re asking the community to join us in the fight against childhood illness and help ensure that we can continue providing the programs and services our families rely on.�
Those Chai Lifeline programs and services include one-on-one family counseling; nourishing meals delivered to hospitals and homes; transportation to medical appointments; the summer experience of a lifetime for children with cancer and chronic illnesses at Camp Simcha and Camp Simcha Special medically-supervised overnight camps; Project Chai crisis intervention, trauma and bereavement workshops for families, schools and communities; insurance advocacy; family retreats and respite; sibling mentoring and tutoring through i-Shine afterschool national programs, and so much more.
Contributions to the campaign are all tax-deductible and will have an even greater impact as all donations will be matched. To donate to the campaign, please visit www.enlistforchai.org or call 732-943-1900.
