Nearly 500 volunteers from throughout Southern New Jersey helped turn Super Sunday 2010 into a record-breaking event. The 30th annual phone-a-thon benefitting the Jewish Federation Annual Campaign raised $748,256, the most ever. An additional $203,778.50 was raised during four follow-up phone-a-thons during Super Week, when those who could not be reached on Super Sunday were called. Money contributed to the Jewish Federation Annual Campaign helps Jews in Southern New Jersey, in Israel, and throughout the Jewish world.
