Capital Campaign

Every Brick Counts!

We are thrilled to announce the details of our Brick Campaign, designed to enhance the Building Our Future Together capital campaign at our Jewish Community Alliance. 

As we renovate and expand for the future of the JCA, you can make a timeless gift with a personalized brick that will help lay the foundation for the next generation. Our brick campaign offers families in Jacksonville and beyond an opportunity to place their family names on a permanent display on campus. Once complete, bricks will pave the way to our renovated Youth Services area and the DuBow Adult Center at the JCA. 

Brick by brick, all the funds raised through this campaign will help us complete plans to renovate, expand and alter the trajectory of the JCA. Bricks can be inscribed with your family name and a space for a unique message. We have 8X8 campaign bricks available for $1,000 and 4×8 bricks available for $500.

Well into the first phase of construction, changes are underway as crews work to add 15,000 square feet of space including a new two-story building on campus. These dynamic changes will create new offices for JCA administration and our partners in the Jewish Federation & Foundation of Northeast Florida.  

As The Stein Family Courtyard renovations continue, the children in our Michele Block Gan Yeladim Preschool & Kindergarten will experience new classrooms, a dedicated room for sensory exploration, and a creative development room. Our Youth Services area will enjoy five new classrooms, a new common area, a modernized kitchen, and a new technology and tutoring room.

Soon, construction will expand and redesign the Miller Family Fitness Center, featuring new equipment, including top-of-the-line cardio and weight training machines. Additionally, entrance and lobby upgrades will begin as the J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver Welcome Area is built, and the Chepenik, Markowitz, and Movsovitz Lobby is enhanced with a digital donor recognition and announcement wall, a 25-foot interactive Israel Wall, and the Setzer Family “History of Jewish Jacksonville” display.

We are humbled by the continuous support of the Building Our Future Together Campaign; now surpassing $15 million in funding to upgrade, enhance, and renovate our beautiful campus. Visit bit.ly/EveryBrickCounts for more details and purchase your brick to support the future of our JCA today!
