Yeshivat He’Atid held its first-ever annual FunRun event this past Sunday (May 4th) at the Bergenfield High School outdoor track in Bergenfield, New Jersey. The FunRun promised to be Yeshivat He’Atid’s largest fundraiser of the year, and it surely met expectations.

The FunRun event featured exciting running and walking events for both children and adults. All activities were designed for children of all ages so that everyone could enjoy a beautiful day outdoors.

Students, teachers, parents, family and friends worked together to meet their personal and school-wide fundraising goals. The money raised will be used to help defray a portion of the one-time startup costs incurred in the last few years when creating a wonderful school from the ground up. Funds raised will also assist with the impending purchase of a new Yeshivat He’Atid building, which the school plans on accomplishing without imposing any mandatory building funds on parents. Finally, a portion of the proceeds will go towards the Yeshivat He’Atid Scholarship Fund.

The Fundraising goal was set at $50,000 for this year, and with the help of many volunteers and generous donations, Yeshivat He’Atid has reached that goal! In even more exciting news, every dollar raised will be double matched by specified donors!

It was an amazing day for Yeshivat He’Atid thanks to many generous donations, Yeshivat He’Atid is paving a road to success within the future of Jewish education.
