The Wornick Development Program for 2010-2011, led by Deena Greenspahn, aims to raise over $700,000 through diverse fundraising strategies. Key components include the annual campaign "Close the Gap," the "Feast Your Mind" event supporting the Wornick Scholarship Fund, and various community festivals celebrating 25 years of Wornick in the North Pen community. The program emphasizes 100% parent participation, alumni engagement, and enhancing pro-Israel donor support. Through innovative events, we strive to build a strong foundation for future growth and community involvement.
