FUNDRAISING & DONATIONS
Let's spend some time together bouncing, getting exercise, having fun and raise a little money for Beth Am!
We've reserved a timeslot on Thursday, February 9th from 5 pm until 7 pm for Beth Am Temple families to come on down to Bounce and have some fun together.
The cost is $18 for two hours for each person who wants to jump if you register and pay in advance and $20 at the door.
To register, click here for the form and send in your check made out to Beth Am Temple for $18.00 for each person who will jump.
Be sure to show up at 4:45 pm to check in and store your shoes and get your bracelet. Yes, you can invite friends as well. Please remember that everyone who jumps MUST have a signed liability waiver on file with Bounce. If you have already been there and have one on file then you won't need one. You can download the waiver from their website at www.bounceonit.com. Bounce! is located at 612 Corporate Way in Valley Cottage, 2 miles north of the Palisades Mall up Route 303. 845-268-4000.

Our new Beth Am Temple toolbar is free to download and allows you to raise money for our cause every time you search or shop online! Once added to IE or Firefox, each time you shop at more than 1,300 stores (from Amazon to Zazzle!) a percentage of your purchase will automatically be donated to Beth Am Temple - at no cost to you (and you may even save money as the toolbar provides coupons and deals as well!). The toolbar also has a search box and each time you search the Internet, about a penny is donated to Beth Am Temple.

This costs you nothing, and does not compete with, but may even enhance the new Beth Am Temple Gift Card Program mentioned below!
Gift Card program
Our Gift Card Program is is an easy way to contribute to Beth Am Temple, with out costing you money. Open an account with www.shopwithscrip.com and order gift cards from hundreds of companies and the Temple will receive a % from the issuing company at no cost or expense to you, an in some cases the % we receive is over 15%. In addition, the profits that the Temple receives from your on-line purchases are potentially tax deductible to you!
HERE IS A LIST OF COMPANIES AND THE DONATIONS THEY WILL GIVE TO BETH AM TEMPLE
As an example of the power of this program, a BAT board member recently purchased gift cards to pay for a cruise and the Temple profited by $575. Imagine the benefits if each Temple family regularly used it to purchase cards for merchants such as CVS, Home Depot, AMC Theaters, Chili’s or hundreds of others in addition of course to grocery stores.
Orders placed by Sunday of each week will be available during the following week (usually Thursday or Friday). Payment is required for your order to be approved and processed.
The preferred payment method is PrestoPay which is secure transfer of funds from your checking account (39 cent fee per order). Checks can also be used and can be left at the Temple office or if time allows mailed to Howard Weiss, 25 Marion Road, Montvale, NJ 07645. At this time we are unable to accept credit card payments for this program.
