Message from Dan Sweeny, 2019 Campaign Chair

My involvement with the Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton has been a lifelong commitment. Growing up here, I know many of the people who have served as Campaign Chair, and while I do have large feet, the shoes I must fill are larger still.

My involvement with the Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton has been a lifelong commitment. Growing up here, I know many of the people who have served as Campaign Chair, and while I do have large feet, the shoes I must fill are larger still.

I am deeply honored and consider it a privilege to serve as the Campaign Chair. I feel a new sense of commitment and drive to help us be, as Federation CEO Cathy Gardner would say, “the best little Jewish community in the country.” In order to make this an indisputable fact it will take all of us. It will take our time, determination, creativity, and our dollars.

I have been blessed to have many amazing Jewish role models. From family and friends to more recently, my wife. At an early age, my grandparents instilled in me what I feel is one of the most important Jewish values ~ tzedakah. They have always given generously, whether time or money. They are the reason I give; my kids are the reason I give; all of you in the Jewish community are the reason I give.

Knowing the work Federation does locally and globally is all the reason we need to make committed gifts to the Annual Campaign. I am very excited for the coming campaign year and the wonderful things we will be able to accomplish with the continually generous support of our Dayton Jewish community.
