CFR Annual Dinner
The CFR Annual Journal Dinner is a once yearly celebration
of the Center’s outreach efforts, and is our major
fundraising campaign. It has been held consecutively for
the last twenty five years.
The Dinner Campaign raises funds in three ways:
- The campaign offers the opportunity to show support for
the Center’s work and to pay tribute to the honorees
through the purchase of ads in a published Dinner Journal.
- Through the couvert charge for reservations made for those
attending the dinner,
- The Dinner Raffle.
The Dinner is a formal affair with a short but extremely
inspirational program. The evening’s Masters of Ceremonies
are the dinner honorees themselves, who personally testify
to the work of the Center and explain why they are involved.
Both corporate and collegiate speakers movingly address
the effect CFR has had on their lives.
Typically, the Dinner takes place in early December. A lavish
smorgasbord reception begins at 5:00 PM and continues until
the dinner at 6:30 PM. The program begins at 6:50 and goes
until 7:30 PM.
A highlight of entertainment is the Dinner Raffle in which
we award 20-30 exciting prize packages consisting of close
to one hundred gift items to winning dinner raffle purchasers.
Grace after meals is at 8:45 PM, followed by a delicious
Viennese desert buffet table.
A night at the CFR Dinner is an experience that will be
long remembered by all who attend.
The Annual Dinner Campaign has a low overhead, making it
highly cost effective.
Active participants may also choose to help administrate
the dinner campaign.

CFR Annual Raffle
The CFR Annual Raffle is a once yearly fundraising campaign
in which contributors buy numbered tickets for the chance
to win an exciting $20,000 cash prize. It has been held
consecutively for the last seventeen years.
At this time the Center’s Board of Trustees allows
only a maximum of 1,500 tickets to be sold for a purchase
price of $100 per ticket. We offer you, however, two ways
to increase your chance to win.
1. Mulitiple Ticket Discounts: You can
purchase a larger number of tickets for a discounted price.
For example:
3 tickets for $250
7 tickets for $500
15 tickets for $1,000
2. Early Bird Drawing: Pay for your raffles
a month in advance and be entered in the Early Bird drawing
for a chance to win an additional ten free raffle tickets.
On the day of the drawing we perform three separate checks
to ensure the integrity of the drawing:
1. A check by stub number;
2. A check by name of purchaser and amount pledged or paid;
3. A check by physically placing each stub in the raffle
drum one by one.
All three checks are verified by an independent observer.
The drawing then takes place at the CFR Bayit amid great
fanfare and a delicious barbeque. A prominent member of
the community is asked to do the drawing while blindfolded.
The raffle winner is then notified immediately by phone.
All stubs that were in the drum are mailed to their respective
purchasers to further verify that they were actually in
the drawing.
The Annual Raffle Campaign has an extremely low overhead,
making it highly cost effective.
Active participants may also choose to become sales captains.
